Surprise/empowerment/etc may be the fundamental objectives living organisms optimize, however it is very difficult to optimize these objectives. I will be giving a talk at international worlshop on #activeinference on how foundational models can help improve these methods.

News🥁! Preprint on an AIT version of the Good Regulator Theorem. World (W) and Regulator (R) are Turing machines interacting via "interface" tapes. Regulation =: compression of W output (e.g., x = temperature series of a room). #Cybernetics #AlT #ActiveInference arxiv.org/abs/2510.10300 1/9

Can active inference model consciousness? New paper proposes it can, via a "Beautiful Loop Theory." It rests on three key conditions that create a self-evidencing system. 🧠 @KarlFristonNews

I'll be giving a talk at the Active Inference Institute on "Designing Intelligent Systems with Trust" in January.

As AI becomes more integrated into our workflows, trust and verification become critical.

Full details coming soon - I hope you can make it! #ActiveInference #AI #Trust #SystemDesign

Our findings reveal how shared 'protentions' - anticipations of the future - enable agents to coordinate and achieve common goals. It's all about predicting and adapting.

Excited to share our new preprint! We're exploring how agents co-construct reality through conscious temporal perception, integrating Husserlian phenomenology, Active Inference, and Category Theory.

It suggests that David Hume's idea that all knowledge comes from the outside world has had way too long a half-life in biology.
