Active Inference
Welcome to your central resource for understanding Active Inference. Developed by Professor Karl Friston, this revolutionary framework models the brain as a ‘prediction machine’ that constantly works to minimize surprise and make sense of the world. It represents one of the most significant theories for achieving true Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Here, you will find our complete collection of articles on the subject—from simple guides on the core concepts to in-depth analyses of the latest research connecting Active Inference to quantum physics, consciousness, and the future of Web4.
