Dr. Uri Hertz is a visiting scholar at MBDS, and a senior lecturer at the Department of Cognitive Sciences, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel, where he is the head of the social decisions lab.

Uri is a cognitive scientist interested in social learning and collective behavior. He studies how human and AI agents learn from each other, share information, and make decisions together, and how these support collective behaviors such as social norms and social structure. Uri uses single and multiplayer experiments, behavioral measurements, computational models, and neuroimaging to study these processes.

In the MBDS program Uri teaches a course on AI and human behavior. He holds a PhD in computational neuroscience from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Previously, he was part of an interdisciplinary team including neuroscientists and philosophers working on The Human Mind Project. He was also a member of the Crowd Cognition group in the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience in UCL, London, UK.
