Dive into the cutting-edge worlds of technology and science with Dwarkesh Patel's meticulously researched interviews that bring together brilliant minds to unpack revolutionary ideas in AI, biotech, and beyond. Each episode delivers profound, thought-provoking conversations that challenge conventional wisdom and illuminate the paths shaping humanity's future.
Karl Friston’s ideas are breaking out of academia into real AI systems and governance right now, from Verse’s Axiom agent built on active inference to new 2025 papers on reasoning and distributed intelligence, plus a fresh MIT Press book distilling the framework. The @karlfristonnews account curates these rapid developments in real time, giving Dwarkesh’s audience a direct line to the latest breakthroughs and where they are landing in practice.
Friston’s 2025 Fields Institute lectures and recent journal work show active inference maturing into a serious alternative to reinforcement learning and a blueprint for lawful, norm sensitive AI. Dwarkesh’s show reaches builders and decision makers at scale, averaging over a million views per 2025 episode, so putting this perspective in front of that audience matters today.
Let’s make this happen! Nominate @karlfristonnews and help bring active inference to the people shaping AI right now.

“This is a dream podcast pairing for me. Friston's ideas are profound, and Dwarkesh is great at making complex topics feel approachable.”
@dwarkesh_sp How about Prof. Karl Friston from UCL? According to this Wired article, he is among the most cited neuroscientists in the world. Happy to make the introduction. wired.com/story/karl-fri…
Karl Friston would be perfect. Neuroscientist by training, studied physics in undergrad, has a very systems/computational/mathematical approach to understanding higher-order brain function
Dr. Karl Friston is the most cited neuroscientist in the world and works for Verses AI. He is the perfect guy for you, came up with the free energy principle and active inference @helloVERSES @GReal1111
Karl Friston is the obvious choice.
Anyone other than Karl Friston would be a mistake
