Kati Kish Bar-On

I am a philosopher of mathematics and social science, working on the intersection of AI, cognitive science, and social behavior. Currently, I am an Alfred P. Sloan Meta-Science and AI postdoctoral fellow at Boston University, a visiting scholar at Harvard Business School, and a lecturer at Northeastern University. My work focuses on how behavior, cognition, and technology shape knowledge and reasoning in both social and scientific contexts. I examine how group dynamics, social norms, and social identities interact, bridging philosophy of psychology and behavioral science, and I extend this framework to the history and philosophy of mathematics, analyzing how social factors influence the creation of mathematical knowledge. I also explore how AI is reshaping social interactions and scientific practices, challenging traditional ideas of intuition, agency, and collaboration in an emerging human-machine epistemic culture.
