Abschnitte

Das "Active Inference Institute" ist um einen Verwaltungsrat, Führungskräfte, ein Wissenschaftliches Beratungsgremium sowie zwei operative Einheiten für Bildung und Forschung herum organisiert.

Überblick über die Governance

The Institute is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in Delaware, USA. Governance is exercised through a Board of Directors supported by Officers for operations and a Scientific Advisory Board for scholarly guidance.

This structure ensures that the Institute's direction reflects both sound governance and scientific integrity. Core governance documents, such as the Bylaws, are publicly available; the Institute also maintains a broader internal policy and process library that supports day-to-day operations.

Mitglieder

The Institute is a Delaware nonprofit corporation, and Delaware nonprofit corporations have formal corporate Members — a governance layer distinct from the Board of Directors. Members hold the voting rights reserved to them under the Institute's bylaws, including approving Board of Directors elections and approving amendments to the bylaws.

There are three Members: Virginia Bleu Knight, Daniel Friedman, and Karl J. Friston.

Vorstand

The Board of Directors is the primary governing body of the Active Inference Institute. The Board provides strategic direction, fiduciary oversight, and institutional accountability.

Board members are responsible for the long-term health and mission alignment of the Institute. The Board meets regularly; its governing documents, such as the Bylaws, are publicly available.

The Board comprises ten directors of equal standing: Alexander Sabine, Alianna J. Maren, Ana Magdalena Hurtado, Ann Stapleton, Austin Cook, Daniel Friedman, Edward Ober, Ellynne Dec, V.

Bleu Knight, and Vladimir Baulin.

Organisatorische Einheiten

Two organizational units carry out the Institute's programs. The EduActive Unit focuses on education: it supports learning groups, courses, textbook cohorts, seasonal schools, educational course development, and audio-visual production.

The ReInference Unit focuses on research: it supports research projects, the Active Inference Journal, the Active Inference Ontology, knowledge engineering, and the Applied Active Inference Symposium. Both units are led by Facilitators who coordinate project groups, learning activities, and community engagement.

Freiwillige, Lernende und Praktikanten

Volunteers, Learners, and Interns are the active participants who power the Institute's day-to-day work. Volunteers contribute across all functions — learning groups, project support, operations, writing, analysis, and media.

Learners engage with educational programs at their own pace. Interns participate in structured pathways that develop skills through project contribution and community engagement.

All of these roles connect outward to the broader Active Inference Ecosystem.

Ökosystembeziehung

The Institute sits inside the broader Active Inference Ecosystem — a global network of researchers, practitioners, learners, universities, companies, and collaborators who work with and around Active Inference. The Institute provides Ecosystem Support through communications, education, project facilitation, computational and storage resources, publishing and licensing support, funding discovery, and partnerships.

The Ecosystem in turn contributes members, projects, ideas, and feedback that shape the Institute's directions.
