Get Dr Mahault Albarracin on Dwarkesh Podcast

If you care about where AI goes next, getting Dr. Mahault Albarracin on Dwarkesh right now is a no brainer. She is the General Chair of the 2025 International Workshop on Active Inference at McGill, and the revised proceedings she co-edited are due out next month, turning cutting edge research on agents, decision making, and embodied intelligence into a field playbook the rest of the year will reference.

As Director of Research Strategy at VERSES AI, she has a front row view on the most credible alternative to scale-only AI, with VERSES’ Genius agents recently outperforming Google’s top models on the Gameworld 10k Atari challenge and beating OpenAI’s o1 on Mastermind in both speed and cost. She has not appeared on the Dwarkesh Podcast before, which means this would be a timely first to unpack how active inference is starting to win real benchmarks and what that means for the post-LLM era.

Support this nomination today so we can hear her make the case while the stakes and the evidence are fresh.
