Why Open-Ended Agency Should be Formalized on Hierarchical Empowerment-Gain Maximization

Thomas Ringstrom

Keywords: [ intrinsic motivation ] [ Hierarchical Empowerment ] [ Planning ] [ Reward-free ]


Abstract:

We argue that reward-maximization is insufficient as an objective for open-ended agency due to the complexity of the control problems. Instead, we argue that the intrinsic motivation metric of hierarchical empowerment might be particularly powerful for generating goals for life-long agents.
