Dr. Henry Brighton is an Associate Professor at Tilburg University's Department of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, part of the TSHD School. His research focuses on decision-making, ecological rationality, and computational modeling of language evolution. He holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from the University of Edinburgh and prior roles at institutions like the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and SHARP Laboratories. Brighton teaches courses on Artificial Intelligence and contributes to projects like the Tilburg Algorithm Observatory. His work bridges cognitive science, AI, and social sciences, emphasizing ethical AI applications and bias detection in media. Recent research includes AI's role in promoting diversity and automated political bias analysis of news outlets.
Education:
- BSc (Hons) in Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science (University of Edinburgh, 1996)
- MSc in Cognitive Science (University of Edinburgh, 1997)
- Ph.D. in Cognitive Science (University of Edinburgh, 2003)
Research Interests: Bounded rationality, instance-based learning, cultural transmission, and computational models of language evolution. He explores how environmental uncertainty shapes decision-making and adaptive systems.
Publications: Recent works include studies on political bias detection, AI ethics, and rationality frameworks. His 2025 paper on AI-driven diversity initiatives highlights inclusive AI design, while 2024 research proposes scalable bias detection for news outlets.
Labs/Teams: Involved with the Tilburg Algorithm Observatory and collaborates on interdisciplinary projects like the SignON initiative for deaf communication accessibility.
