August 7, 2025 #ActiveInference - In this thought-provoking episode of the Spatial Web AI Podcast, host Denise Holt (Founder & CEO of AIXGlobal Media and Learning Lab Central) sits down with two renowned expertsshaping the future of intelligent systems:

🔹 Dr. Mahault Albarracin, Head of ResearchStrategy & Product Innovation at VERSES AI
🔹Dr. David Bray, DistinguishedFellow at the Stimson Center and CEO of Lead Do Adapt Ventures

Together, they explore the cutting edge of Active Inference AI and the SpatialWeb Protocol – HSTP & HSML, showcasing VERSES' latestbreakthroughs in distributed intelligence, federated agent systems, andreal-time learning.

🚀 Key Topics Covered:

· Breakthrough performance of VERSES’ AXIOM model and its edge-compatible,biomimetic design

· How federatedActive Inference enables multi-agent coordination in dynamicenvironments

· The role of shared protentions and collective intelligence in human-AI collaboration

· The SpatialWeb Protocol and HyperspaceModeling Language (HSML) as a foundation for context-aware,decentralized AI

· Societal implications for global governance, policy, trust, and explainability

· AI learning of social norms, Theoryof Mind, and adaptive behaviorin homes, cities, and critical systems

· Dramatic energyefficiency advantages through VariationalBayes Gaussian Splatting (VBGS) and scale-free modeling

🧠 Learn how this newclass of explainable, energy-efficient, and truly intelligent systems is set torevolutionize everything from roboticsand governance to disaster response and personalized living environments.

🎧 Whether you're an AIresearcher, policymaker, tech innovator, or future-focused leader—this is amust-watch conversation on the future of intelligence.
