Though it is true that science can be bent to evil ends, it is more often the case that injustice creeps through the cracks of our ignorance

Dr Amnon H. Eden is a computer scientist serving as Principal Scientist at Sapience.org (thinktank). His current interest is with the application of computational modelling to interdisciplinary questions that arise from disruptive technologies, specifically artificial intelligence, blockchain technology.

Dr Eden gained his expertise from hands-on professional work (since 1992) as a director of technology (Encrypgen LLC, sold August 2022), programmer and software architect (Tal-Aviv high-tech), in tandem with his academic research as a lecturer in computer science at the University of Essex (2002-2015).

Dr Eden offers expert advice on strategic decisions which require both scientifically-informed academic expertise and hands-on programming and software development experience, specializing in:

Dr Eden served as a Lecturer and the Director of Undergraduate Studies at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Essex, and held academic posts in Israel Institute of Technology—Technion, Tel Aviv University, Uppsala University, and Concordia University, and fellowships at the Institute of Advanced Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Center For Inquiry.

Dr Eden received his education from Tel Aviv University, where he graduated the Interdisciplinary Program for Outstanding Students, and awarded a Master (Cum Laude) in Computer Science (machine learning) and a Doctorate in Computer Science (software engineering).

Dr Eden’s publications include his book Codecharts, the first entry on the Philosophy of Computer Science in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and his research in singularity hypotheses led to the publication of the first peer-reviewed comprehensive volume on superintelligence, and contributed to the areas of Design PatternsFormal MethodsObject-Oriented ProgrammingDevelopment Tools, and Software ArchitectureDesignEvolutionModellingVisualization, and Security.

Dr Eden published his contributions to software engineering, artificial intelligence, and the philosophy of computer science in three of the highest ranking outlets in Google Scholar, including an award-winning paper in the ACM/IEEE Automated Software Engineering series.

Dr Eden has raised over 200,000 USD in research funding from research councils and co-raised 203,000 USD from the Software Engineering Institute.
