Researchers from BrainLinks-BrainTools at University of Freiburg have published a guest article in the regional business magazine Netzwerk Südbaden (focus topic: Knowledge), exploring the concept of internal world models and their role in intelligence.
In the article, Ilka Diester, Thomas Brox, and Monika Schönauer explain how internal world models allow humans and animals to organize experience, anticipate future events, and guide decision-making. They further discuss how these principles inform artificial intelligence research and the challenges of transferring biological insights into technical systems.
The contribution brings together neuroscience, psychology, and AI research, demonstrating how interdisciplinary approaches advance our understanding of knowledge and adaptive behavior.
