THE CONVERSATION
Episode notes
Explore Karl Friston’s work on the Free Energy Principle, prediction and learning with William Chandler-Duff. Listen and find the Active Inference Institute link.
This episode features Karl Friston, one of the most influential neuroscientists of our time, whose work has fundamentally shaped how we understand the brain.
Friston is best known for developing the Free Energy Principle, a unifying theory suggesting that the brain continuously works to minimise surprise by predicting and adapting to the world. This idea has had far-reaching impact across neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and even philosophy.
Friston has consistently ranked among the most cited scientists in the world, reflecting the profound influence of his ideas across multiple disciplines. His work bridges theory and data, offering deep insights into perception, learning, and consciousness.
