治理概览

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.

董事会

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.

官员

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).

科学顾问委员会

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.

组织单位

两个组织单位执行研究所的项目。EduActive 单元专注于教育:支持学习小组、课程、教科书组、季节性学校、教育课程开发和音频视觉制作。ReInference 单元专注于研究:支持研究项目、Active Inference 期刊、Active Inference 本体论、知识工程以及应用 Active Inference 研讨会。两个单位由促进者领导,协调项目组、学习活动和社区参与。

志愿者、学习者和实习生

志愿者、学习者和实习生是推动研究所日常工作的主要参与者。志愿者跨所有职能贡献——学习小组、项目支持、运营、写作、分析和媒体。学习者以自己的节奏参与教育计划。实习生参与结构化路径,通过项目贡献和社区参与发展技能。这些角色都与更广泛的积极推断生态系统相连。

生态系统关系

该研究所位于更广泛的积极推断生态系统中,是一个全球研究人员、从业者、学习者、大学、公司与合作者的网络,他们围绕积极推断进行工作。研究所通过沟通、教育、项目促进、计算和存储资源、出版和许可支持、资金发现以及合作伙伴关系提供生态系统支持。生态系统则贡献成员、项目、想法和反馈,塑造着研究所的方向。

C.Researchunit:ReInference (Research)

Focused on creating new knowledge, models, and technologies.

D.Educationunit:EduActive (Education)

Focused on disseminating knowledge, building skills,Educational Standards & Qualifications, and fostering community.

E. TALENT & PROJECT INCUBATOR

Where people and ideas develop.

  • Program 1: Talent Development
    • Focus: Nurturing the next generation of researchers and practitioners.
    • Projects/Positions:Internship and Fellows

Fellows and interns may work on Projects within the main divisions or develop new projects within the Incubator.

  • Program 2: Community Incubator
    • Focus: Providing a lightweight, supportive home for experimental, volunteer-led, and exploratory Ecosystem Projects.
