GenRL is all set to be presented at NeurIPS 🚀 Huge congratulations @pietromazzaglia and the entire team!

🚨Introducing GenRL! An embodied AI agent that learns multimodal foundation world models 🌍 By connecting the multimodal knowledge of foundation models with the embodied knowledge of world models for RL, GenRL enables turning vision and language prompts into actions!

What a way to close out 2023! 🎉 Our team at VERSES has identified an alternative path to AGI, and we believe we can get there in the next two years

Always a great pleasure to chat with the hosts of @MLStreetTalk—this time with Karl Friston and Chris Buckley (@drclbuckley), on the free energy principle, information and dynamics, wandering Markov blankets, historicity, ecological psychology, and the enactive approach

Honored to announce that I'll be writing a book on the FEP and active inference for the @mitpress, tentatively entitled: (Artificial) Intelligence from First Principles: Using the Free Energy Principle and Active Inference for the Study and Design of Ecosystems of Intelligence
