Cognitive Biases & in-group convergences – Joscha Bach
Discussion points:
- In-group convergence: thinking in true & false vs right & wrong
- The group mind may be more stupid than the smartest individuals in the group
Joscha Bach, Ph.D. is an AI researcher who worked and published about cognitive architectures, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, and multi-agent systems. He earned his Ph.D. in cognitive science from the University of Osnabrück, Germany, and has built computational models of motivated decision making, perception, categorization, and concept-formation. He is especially interested in the philosophy of AI and in the augmentation of the human mind.
Joscha has taught computer science, AI, and cognitive science at the Humboldt-University of Berlin and the Institute for Cognitive Science at Osnabrück. His book "Principles of Synthetic Intelligence" (Oxford University Press) is available on amazon now:
