Episode: Is There Really a Hard Problem of Consciousness? - Dr. Joscha Bach, Artificial Intelligence Researcher
Description: Joscha Bach is a German artificial intelligence researcher and cognitive scientist who works on on cognitive architectures, mental representation, emotion, social modeling, and multi-agent systems.
