Joscha Bach (born 1973 in Weimar, Germany) is a cognitive scientist focusing on cognitive architectures, models of mental representation, emotion, motivation and sociality.[1] Achievements include research in novel data compression algorithm using concurrent entropy models; development of microPsi[2] cognitive architecture for modeling emotion, motivation, mental representation.[3] Before joining AI Foundation, he worked as a visiting researcher at the MIT Media Lab and the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics[4].

According to fact-finding reports from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bach was directly or indirectly attributed $300,000 by Jeffrey Epstein charitable funds.[5][6] The fundings were made post-conviction of Epstein, who was found guilty of sex charges involving a minor in Florida in 2008.[5][6] According to Science Magazine [7], Harvard University[6], and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology[5], Bach declined to comment on his ties to Epstein.

Education

Master of Arts in Computer Science, Humboldt-Universität Berlin, 2000. Doctor of Philosophy, Osnabrück University, Germany, 2006.[8][9]
