Joscha Bach (born 1973 in Weimar, Germany) is a German artificial intelligence researcher and cognitive scientist focusing on cognitive architectures, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, and multi-agent systems [1]


Early life and education

Bach was born in Germany to architect and artist Jochen Bach and Gisa Bach. He is part of the Bach family.[2]

He received an MA (computer science) from Humboldt-Universität Berlin in 2000 and a PhD (cognitive science) from Osnabrück University in 2006.[3][4][5][6]

Roles

Bach has taught computer science, AI, and cognitive science at the Humboldt-University of Berlin and the Institute for Cognitive Science at Osnabrück. He worked as a visiting researcher at the MIT Media Lab and the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.[7]

He then joined AI Foundation, working as VP of Research.[8] He is currently a Principal AI Engineer at Intel Labs Cognitive Computing group.[9]

Achievements

Bach built MicroPsi, a cognitive architecture extending representations of the Psi-theory with taxonomies, inheritance and linguistic labeling; MicroPsi's spreading activation networks allow for neural learning, planning and associative retrieval.[10][11]

He has also worked extensively on novel data compression algorithm using concurrent entropy models[12] cognitive architecture for modeling emotion, motivation, mental representation.[13]

Other

Bach has written a book on cognitive science called Principles of Synthetic Intelligence.[14][15]

In November 2021, he gave a talk at the Redwood Center of Theoretical Neuroscience titled "Joscha Bach: From Attention to Consciousness". The topics include AI, consciousness, and attention.[16]
