O «Active Inference Institute» é organizado em torno de um Conselho Diretor, Oficiais Executivos, um Conselho Consultivo Científico e duas unidades operacionais para educação e pesquisa.

Visão Geral de Governança

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.

Members

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.

Conselho Diretor

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.

Oficiais

Officers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Institute. Officer roles include President, Treasurer, and Secretary, among others. Officers implement Board decisions, manage organizational processes, maintain financial records, coordinate communications, and oversee Institute Programs. Officers work closely with the organizational units and report to the Board of Directors. Current officers: Daniel Friedman (President and Treasurer) and Alexandra Mikhailova (Vice-President and Secretary).

Conselho Consultivo Científico

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) provides scientific and scholarly guidance to the Institute. SAB members are experts in Active Inference, computational neuroscience, cognitive science, and related fields. The SAB advises on research directions, educational content, project selection, and the scientific quality of Institute outputs. SAB members may serve as Facilitators for research projects and learning groups. Current members of the Scientific Advisory Board: Adam Safron, Adeel Razi, Alexander Ororbia, Ali Rahmjoo, Andrew Pashea, Antonio Lucas-Alba, Arun Niranjan, Avel Guénin-Carlut, Bradly Alicea, Candice Pattisapu, Chris Fields, Christo Kurisummoottil Thomas, Cory Slater, Elliott Hauser, Haris Neophytou, Héctor Manrique, Holly Grimm, Ian Tennant, Jana Lumi, Joel Dietz, John Clippinger, Joshua Shane, Karl J. Friston, Luca Possati, Matt Brown, Maxwell J. D. Ramstead, Michael Lennon, Mike Smith, Scott David, Sebastian Alvarado, Shady El Damaty, and Thomas Kehler.

Unidades Organizacionais

Dois departamentos executam os programas do Instituto. A Unidade EduActive concentra-se na educação: apoia grupos de estudo, cursos, turmas de livros didáticos, escolas sazonais, desenvolvimento de cursos educacionais e produção audiovisual. A Unidade ReInference foca na pesquisa: apoia projetos de pesquisa, o Jornal de Inferência Ativa, a Ontologia de Inferência Ativa, engenharia de conhecimento e o Simpósio Aplicado de Inferência Ativa. Ambas as unidades são lideradas por Facilitadores que coordenam grupos de projeto, atividades de aprendizado e engajamento comunitário.

Voluntários, Aprendizes e Estagiários

Voluntários, aprendizes e estagiários são os participantes ativos que impulsionam o trabalho diário do Instituto. Voluntários contribuem em todas as funções — grupos de aprendizagem, apoio a projetos, operações, escrita, análise e mídia. Aprendizes se envolvem com programas educacionais no seu próprio ritmo. Estagiários participam de caminhos estruturados que desenvolvem habilidades através da contribuição em projetos e engajamento comunitário. Todos esses papéis se conectam para o ecossistema mais amplo da Inferência Ativa.

Relacionamento do Ecossistema

O Instituto está inserido no Ecossistema de Inferência Ativa, uma rede global de pesquisadores, praticantes, aprendizes, universidades, empresas e colaboradores que trabalham com e ao redor da Inferência Ativa. O Instituto oferece Suporte ao Ecossistema por meio de comunicações, educação, facilitação de projetos, recursos computacionais e de armazenamento, suporte a publicações e licenciamento, descoberta de financiamento e parcerias. O Ecossistema, por sua vez, contribui com membros, projetos, ideias e feedback que moldam as direções do Instituto.
