Karl Friston - Why Intelligence Can't Get Too Large (Goldilocks principle)

Karl Friston - Why Intelligence Can't Get Too Large (Goldilocks principle)

Professor Karl Friston provides a 20-year retrospective on the Free Energy Principle, exploring its implications for life, intelligence, and consciousness. The discussion delves into the nature of agency in "strange things" that can model their own future, the crucial distinction between intelligence and consciousness, the potential for a "Goldilocks zone" for intelligent systems, and the profound challenges of building conscious AI, which may require a move beyond current computer architectures toward "mortal computation".
