Active Inference & The Emergence of Philosophical Thought

Karl J. Friston is a British #neuroscientist known for developing theoretical and statistical models for cognitive processing in the #brain. Most notably, Friston’s work has been leveraged to create predictive models for artificial behavior and learning — artificial intelligence (AI). Friston’s two central theories, Active Inference and the Free Energy Principle have earned him wide renown, making him one of the most highly cited scientists ever. This episode discusses applications of Friston's principles to #philosophy and clinical mental health.
