Normative active inference: A numerical proof of principle for a computational and economic legal analytic approach to AI governance

Axel Constant, Mahault Albarracin, Karl J. Friston

This paper presents a computational account of how legal norms can influence the behavior of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, grounded in the active inference framework (AIF) t…

Dynamic Causal Models of Time-Varying Connectivity

Johan Medrano, Karl J. Friston, Peter Zeidman

This paper introduces a novel approach for modelling time-varying connectivity in neuroimaging data, focusing on the slow fluctuations in synaptic efficacy that mediate neuronal dy…

A framework for the use of generative modelling in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics

Karl J Friston, Maxwell J D Ramstead, Dalton A R Sakthivadivel

We discuss an approach to mathematically modelling systems made of objects that are coupled together, using generative models of the dependence relationships between states (or tra…

Bayesian sparsification for deep neural networks with Bayesian model reduction

Dimitrije Marković, Karl J. Friston, Stefan J. Kiebel

Deep learning's immense capabilities are often constrained by the complexity of its models, leading to an increasing demand for effective sparsification techniques. Bayesian sparsi…

Life-inspired Interoceptive Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous and Adaptive Agents

Sungwoo Lee, Younghyun Oh, Hyunhoe An +4

Building autonomous -- i.e., choosing goals based on one's needs -- and adaptive -- i.e., surviving in ever-changing environments -- agents has been a holy grail of artificial inte…

Canonical Cortical Field Theories

Gerald K. Cooray, Vernon Cooray, Karl Friston

We characterise the dynamics of neuronal activity, in terms of field theory, using neural units placed on a 2D-lattice modelling the cortical surface. The electrical activity of ne…

Linking fast and slow: the case for generative models

Johan Medrano, Karl J. Friston, Peter Zeidman

A pervasive challenge in neuroscience is testing whether neuronal connectivity changes over time due to specific causes, such as stimuli, events, or clinical interventions. Recent…

Natural Language Syntax Complies with the Free-Energy Principle

Elliot Murphy, Emma Holmes, Karl Friston

Natural language syntax yields an unbounded array of hierarchically structured expressions. We claim that these are used in the service of active inference in accord with the free-…

Global dynamics of neural mass models

Gerald Cooray, Richard Rosch, Karl Friston

Neural mass models are used to simulate cortical dynamics and to explain the electrical and magnetic fields measured using electro- and magnetoencephalography. Simulations evince a…
