AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li fascinated by “spatial intelligence”

Fei-Fei Li, known as the “godmother of AI,” has founded a startup called World Labs. The company aims to develop AI systems that can construct complete worlds with the physics, logic, and details of our physical reality. Despite an alleged slowdown in the AI sector, investors have already poured $230 million into the project, valuing it at $1 billion. This is reported by Steven Levy in an article for WIRED.

Li, who made a breakthrough in AI a decade ago with ImageNet, sees spatial intelligence as the next stage of development. World Labs plans to have a product on the market by 2025 that could be used by everyone from game developers to movie studios. High-profile investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Nvidia are backing the project.
