Joscha Bach is a German cognitive scientist and AI researcher who received over $1 million in funding from Jeffrey Epstein between 2013 and 2019, after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from minors. Bach was funded through MIT's Media Lab (2014) and later Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (2016-2019). In November 2025, an email chain between Bach and Epstein was made public by the U.S. House Oversight Committee, revealing racist, sexist remarks, and sympathy for fascism and eugenics from Bach. Epstein files released in January 2026 show Bach sought Epstein's funding for tuition, accommodation, conference travel, and children's school fees. Bach has publicly stated he regrets accepting Epstein's funding and acknowledges ethical concerns, but no legal allegations or criminal accountability determinations have been made against him. The files document a financial relationship and Bach's controversial statements, but he has not been arrested, charged, convicted, or sentenced in connection with the Epstein case.
