A new research paper published on arXiv explores the relationship between optimal AI policies and their understanding of the environment. The study quantifies the information an optimal policy provides about the underlying environment in a Controlled Markov Process, proving that observing such a policy conveys exactly n log m bits of information about the environment, where n is the number of states and m is the number of actions. This finding establishes a precise information-theoretic lower bound on the implicit world model required for optimal AI behavior across various reward maximization objectives. AI
