“Stanford computer scientist Fei-Fei Li is unveiling a startup that aims to teach AI systems deep knowledge of physical reality. Investors are throwing money at it. … “[Li is] on a part-time leave from Stanford University to cofound a company called World Labs. While current generative AI is language-based, she sees a frontier where systems construct complete worlds with the physics, logic, and rich detail of our physical reality. … “[About ten years ago, Li created] ImageNet, a bespoke database of digital images that allowed neural nets to get significantly smarter. She feels that today's deep-learning models need a similar boost if AI is to create actual worlds, whether they're realistic simulations or totally imagined universes. Future George R.R. Martins might compose their dreamed-up worlds as prompts instead of prose, which you might then render and wander around in.... World Labs calls itself a spatial intelligence company, and its fate will help determine whether that term becomes a revolution or a punch line. -- Steven Levy Investors are pitching this as an entertainment play but the real value here seems to be in business, government and research, including city planning, training and industrial applications. https://lnkd.in/gEC25i3h
