Unlocking the Future of AI: Active Inference vs. LLMs – The World vs. Words
In a world where AI reigns supreme, there is a question looming among the tech elite: Are we on the cusp of true intelligence, or are we merely toying with sophisticated text generators? As we marvel at the prowess of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and others, it’s time to investigate a bit further and seek answers. Beyond the hype and fascination, lies a catalyst for change and remarkable innovation, fundamentally redefining what AI means: Active Inference AI.
Navigating the AI Revolution with Dr. Jacques Ludik: Insights on Active Inference, Ethics,and AI’s Societal Impact
Join our conversation in this episode of the Spatial Web AI Podcast, where host Denise Holt engages with Dr. Jacques Ludik, a renowned global AI expert, smart tech entrepreneur, founder of multiple AI companies, and best-selling author, as they dive into a myriad of topics encompassing AI’s future, its ethical implications, and its transformative impact on society. Explore the intricacies of neural networks and Active Inference AI, discussing the broader societal implications of AI, including its role in empathy, privacy, and AI governance.
Special Guest: Professor Bert De Vries | Active Inference & First Principles AI
Explore the fascinating world of Active Inference AI and the Free Energy Principle developed by Dr. Karl Friston in this episode of the Spatial Web AI Podcast, as host, Denise Holt, welcomes Dr. Bert De Vries, Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology. #ActiveInference
Discover how the Active Inference approach to AI follows the principle of least action and describes how information processing occurs in biological systems like the brain.
VERSES AI Demos ‘Genius™’ AI Platform: Pioneering the Future of AI with Active Inference
“What you’re about to see is akin to, I believe, a moment like the launch of the first rocket or the Kitty Hawk moment…So I want you to think about that moment when you first saw something completely new in technology.”
– Gabriel Rene, CEO VERSES AI
…Artificial intelligence is at a critical juncture in its evolution, and today’s LIVE demonstration of VERSES AI’s “Genius™” AI platform showcases a promising new direction for the field. In this presentation, CEO Gabriel Rene and his team provided a first look at how Genius™ is redefining the future of AI through its innovative approach rooted in Active Inference, First Principles AI, and Shared Intelligence.
Revolutionary AI Whitepaper Validated by New Neuroscience Breakthrough
In December 2022, VERSES AI set forth a sweeping vision for artificial intelligence based on a distributed, collective real-time knowledge graph, comprised of Intelligent Agents operating on the physics of intelligence itself. In their whitepaper, titled “Designing Ecosystems of Intelligence from First Principles,” they propose a profound departure from standard notions of AI as a monolithic system. This groundbreaking new artificial intelligence paradigm is gaining momentum, thanks to a major discovery proving its underlying scientific theory – the Free Energy Principle (FEP) by the world’s most cited neuroscientist, Dr. Karl J. Friston.
Friston’s AI Law is Proven: FEP Explains How Neurons Learn
Dr. Karl J. Friston is the most cited neuroscientist in the world, celebrated for his work in brain imaging and physics inspired brain theory. He also happens to be the Chief Scientist at VERSES AI, working on an entirely new kind of AI called Active Inference AI, based on the Free Energy Principle (FEP) — Karl’s theory that has just been proven by researchers in Japan to explain how the brain learns.
“Our results suggest that the free-energy principle is the self-organizing principle of biological neural networks.”
– Takuya Isomura, RIKEN
Active Inference: Pioneering a New Era of Artificial Intelligence with Daniel Friedman
I recently sat down with Daniel Friedman, president of the Active Inference Institute. The insights from this conversation promise to shine a light on the curious realm of active inference and its potential to reshape our understanding of decision-making processes and the future of AI.

VERSES AI Compared to OpenAI | A Conversation With ChatGPT4
In a mere three question conversation with ChatGPT4, the OpenAI bot provided a solid basis for understanding the greatest issues facing Machine Learning LLMs, the advantages of Active Inference AI over LLMs, and the way in which the next evolution of the internet protocol, the Spatial Web, when combined with Active Inference AI, can function as a nervous system for a company, city, or even larger systems.
AI – The Maker vs. the Operator, LLM vs Active Inference
VERSES AI has overcome the limitations of machine learning AI, by building a new kind of artificial intelligence based on a real-time world model described as:
“AI that grows in knowledge, perception, and awareness through the evolving real-time data produced by all things, at all times, throughout our living, breathing, and ever-changing world.”
This is Active Inference AI, an entirely new type of networked AI that is designed for Real-Time Operations, including things like managing the daily operations of a hospital, an airport, global supply chains, an entire smart city, global drone and autonomous vehicle traffic, and other real-world activities.
