New theory separates prediction, compression, and empowerment in AI agency

A new paper proposes a theoretical framework for understanding agency in AI systems operating under partial observability. The research introduces the concept of 'bridge interfaces' to model how agents interact with their environment through controllable parameters and environmental states. The paper proves a separation between prediction, compression, and empowerment, suggesting that effective AI design should distinguish between identifying hidden states, refining interfaces, and achieving task-relevant control.

    Prediction and Empowerment: A Theory of Agency through Bridge Interfaces

    arXiv:2605.06346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study agency under partial observability in deterministic physical or simulated worlds, where apparent randomness arises from uncertainty over initial conditions, fixed law bits, and unrolled exogenous noise. We model sensing and…
