we are thrilled to host Joscha Bach at Future Day 2026 – he is a leading voice in cognitive architectures and the founding director of the California Institute for Machine Consciousness. Bach’s talks are famous for being mind-bending journeys that challenge fundamental assumptions about reality and agency. In his upcoming session, he will dive into the Machine Consciousness Hypothesis, offering a glimpse into how we might one day create truly sentient digital minds.
