arXiv:2610.13002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Empowerment measures the capacity of an agent to actively control its environment. In this work, we explain the connection between skill learning and empowerment. While skill learning is not empowerment, we introduce a simple scalable recipe for empowerment maximization: empowerment corresponds to the number of executable skills from a state, so maximizing empowerment corresponds to reaching states that are good starting points for many skills. Our recipe applies to arbitrary underlying skill learning methods. Whereas most prior work on empowerme
