In artificial intelligence

Empowerment in the study of artificial intelligence is an information-theoretic quantity that measures the perceived capacity of an agent to influence its environment. Empowerment is an approach to modelling intrinsic motivation where advantageous actions are chosen by agent with just knowledge of the format of the environment, rather than satisfying an externally imposed need as in homeostasis.
