[5] Bach has worked in several prestigious institutions, including Martin Nowak's Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED), where he collaborated with other thought leaders in AI and cognitive science.

[14] Bach designed MicroPsi to simulate human-like reasoning and decision-making, contributing to AI systems that can navigate complex, real-world environments.

He contends that AI systems today lack understanding and operate more like "super-powered pattern recognition machines" than true cognitive agents.

Bach's interests extend beyond AI and cognitive science to touch on deeper questions about consciousness, free will, the nature of reality, and the future of humanity in an age of intelligent machines.

[24] He suggests that while machines might achieve some level of subjective awareness, true consciousness in AI might only emerge when these systems can integrate their own experiences into a continuous narrative, much like humans do.

[28] In addition to his academic work, Bach is a prolific speaker and communicator who regularly shares his insights on cognitive science, AI, and philosophy.

[29] He has given numerous talks at conferences, including TEDx, where he has covered topics such as the nature of intelligence, the future of AI, and the possibility of creating conscious machines.

[32] A detailed exposition of the Micropsi system, Bach's work in this area has been influential in shaping research in agent-based modeling and AI decision-making frameworks.
