Ortega is the founder of Daios AI. Previously he was VP of Research at Kosen Labs, and the lead of the Safety Analysis Team at DeepMind. His research focuses on the formal principles of intelligent systems addressing basic questions in AGI and AGI safety research, including bounded-rational & risk-sensitive planning and causal generalization. His approach lies at the intersection between machine l… text/html 2026-04-02T14:14:09+00:00 pedroortega (pedroortega@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.adaptiveagents.org/?image=cv-english.pdf&ns=&rev=1775139249&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="https://www.adaptiveagents.org/lib/images/fileicons/svg/pdf.svg" alt="cv-english.pdf" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-04-02T14:03:46+00:00 pedroortega (pedroortega@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.adaptiveagents.org/publications?rev=1775138626&do=diff Publications The :!: denote my favorite or most representative works.

Ortega Keywords: Solomonoff induction, universal imitation, causal interventions, adaptive control. Technical Report March 2026 Abstract Modern AI often defines agency as reward maximization: specify an objective, then learn to optimize it through interaction. This paper argues for an alternative foundation in which agency is inference: purposeful behavior emerges from learning compact generative explanations of how outcomes depend … text/html 2026-03-17T10:23:32+00:00 pedroortega (pedroortega@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.adaptiveagents.org/?image=uiai-cf-action.png&ns=&rev=1773743012&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="https://www.adaptiveagents.org/_media/uiai-cf-action.png?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=47df58" alt="uiai-cf-action.png" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-03-17T10:23:32+00:00 pedroortega (pedroortega@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.adaptiveagents.org/?image=uiai-third-party.png&ns=&rev=1773743012&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="https://www.adaptiveagents.org/_media/uiai-third-party.png?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=0e5955" alt="uiai-third-party.png" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-03-17T01:36:48+00:00 pedroortega (pedroortega@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.adaptiveagents.org/universal_ai_as_imitation?rev=1773711408&do=diff Universal Artificial Intelligence as Imitation Full Paper: [ PDF ] - HTML Simplified: [General Audience Version] " Many AI frameworks define agency as utility maximization: specify a scalar objective, then learn actions that increase it.
