Why Karl Friston is betting on cultivating curiosity for sustainable AGI

A long-form Diginomica interview with Karl Friston, the neuroscientist whose free energy principle and active inference framework offer a different theory of intelligence than the one driving most current AI investment. Friston rarely sits for journalism interviews; this piece captures him on the record about why scaling compute and energy may be the wrong bet, and what curiosity-driven systems might look like instead.

How AIX might be ushering in a new AI control paradigm, with interesting agentic safety implications

Unpacking how recent progress in scaling active inference is already demonstrating real improvements for distributed control systems in energy management, quantum computing, and autonomous fleet management. Early days, but it could impact the future of more capable, safer autonomous and agentic systems. https://diginomica.com/how-aix-might-be-ushering-new-ai-control-paradigm-interesting-agentic-safety-inplications
