The Active Inference Institute publishes an extensive library of videos and podcasts — recorded livestreams, learning-group sessions, interviews, lectures, and presentations. Public video is hosted on the Institute's YouTube channel, and audio episodes are distributed through podcast platforms. Produced as part of the Institute's open, participatory model, the library lets anyone follow the work as it happens or return to it later. The full curated catalogue is maintained on the video hub.
What we publish
The Institute's media library spans recorded livestreams, learning-group sessions, interviews, lectures, and presentations produced across its education and research activities. Some recordings capture a full working session as it unfolds; others are focused conversations or talks that stand on their own. Together they form an open, participatory archive that lets anyone follow the Institute's ongoing work in Active Inference — watching a session in full, sampling a single discussion, or tracing a topic across many recordings.
Where to watch and listen
Public video lives on the Institute's YouTube channel, where livestreams, lectures, and presentations are posted and organized for browsing. Audio versions of many sessions are distributed on podcast platforms for listening on the go — during a commute, a walk, or anywhere a screen is impractical. Offering the same material as both video and audio reflects the Institute's commitment to open science and free public access to its educational and research output.
How the media supports learning
The library is built to be used, not just archived. Recorded sessions accompany and extend the Institute's learning pathways, giving newcomers an on-ramp into Active Inference and giving returning learners a way to revisit harder material at their own pace. Watching a concept worked through in a live session — questions, detours, and corrections included — often makes ideas land in a way that text alone cannot.
An open, participatory archive
The media library is a direct expression of how the Institute works: in the open, with participation welcomed at every stage. Because sessions are recorded and published rather than held privately, contributions made in a live setting become a lasting public resource, and people who could not attend can still take part by watching or listening afterward. This open record is part of what makes the Institute a participatory, open-science community rather than a closed institution.
Recurring media
Much of the library comes from recurring activities — regular livestreams and learning-group meetings that are recorded and published on an ongoing basis. New recordings are added continuously as these sessions take place, so the library grows alongside the Institute's public programming. The on-site Activities page summarizes these recurring media streams and points to the rhythms behind them.
Full materials
The complete, authoritative catalogue of the Institute's videos and podcasts is currently maintained at the linked video hub and is being migrated onto this site. Until that migration is complete, the hub remains the canonical source for the full curated listing of recordings, series, and episodes.
