I loved getting to discuss the future of artificial intelligence—while sitting in a self-driving car!—with renowned computer scientist Fei-Fei Li. Her new book, The Worlds I See, is out tomorrow. I think you’ll want to read it.

@drfeifei The ultra-right is resurfacing and along with that the failure of the 2030 agenda, it will be useless to try to alter the presidential elections in different countries, it is necessary again for the world to come to a standstill very soon for a GREAT RESET to occur. @BillGates

@drfeifei She is a good example for women scientists. 👍 and will read her book for her AI view.

@drfeifei How do you sleep at night? be principled when it matters. Use your voice as a human being, a mother to say no to the genocide, no to these heinous crimes against women and children of Palestine

📁 Fei-Fei Li founder of World Labs, says the next leap in AI is not language. Human intelligence does not just speak, it moves, perceives, and acts in the physical world. Spatial intelligence is the real core of intelligence. From text to space, from models to 3D and 4D worlds, from understanding words to interacting with reality. The next chapter is not read, it is inhabited.

Fei-Fei Li: Open Source AI Needs To Be Protected⁣ ⁣ "I think open source should be protected. If there is efforts of open source both in public sector as like academia as well as private sector is so important. It's so important for the entrepreneurial ecosystem." — Fei-Fei Li

The moment is right to push forward into a new frontier for AI — one that is as fundamental as language, says Fei-Fei Li. That frontier is visual spatial intelligence. With Justin Johnson (Justin Johnson), her cofounder at World Labs, and a16z's martin_casado, Fei-Fei explains what unlocking this technology could mean, and why we’re in the midst of a “Cambrian explosion”:

I asked Fei-Fei Li how far we are from AI with the everyday capability of humans. The omelet, the laundry folding, the basketball. First she answered like a scientist: "I never know what's 100%." Then the range: not 100 years, maybe not even 50, and not one year either. Her goal is to get there in her lifetime.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to transform society by emulating human intelligence across a wide variety of industries. The United States must embrace its potential for innovation yet lead with balanced regulation, strategic investment, and robust security measures to maintain global technological advantage.

“Is AI overhyped or underhyped?” Fei-Fei Li: "Silicon Valley can mistake clear vision with short distance. In 2006 the first self-driving car drove 140 miles...it still took 20 years for Waymo to be barely on the road." "Clear vision is important, but the journey will be long."

Fei-Fei Li on what simulation can do for robotics that real-world data can't: "You play out events that haven't happened, or cannot happen... And while you play it out, you learn how to act in it." "That's really important in robotics, because we cannot possibly have enough real-world data for that." "Here is a real life example: the industry of self-driving cars. Waymo has officially said they use billions of hours of simulation." "Cars are the simplest kind of robots. So clearly simulation plays a huge role in robotic learning."

Not just see and talk. But do. Just as vision triggered the Cambrian explosion of life, spatial intelligence could trigger the next explosion of AI.

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li explains says "world model" has become an overloaded term & explains what each kind of world model does: "Right now there are three ways of calling world models when it comes to spatial intelligence." "One is what I call a renderer, when the model puts beautiful pixels on the screen." "Another kind of world model is what we call a planner. That is more for machines, more for robots." "The third kind, which I think is the linchpin of the three, is a simulator." "A simulator could become a renderer. The simulator could become a planner. But this layer is a huge critical path to unlock spatial intelligence. And that's what World Labs is working on." Fei-Fei Li at Bloomberg Tech live with Emily Chang

World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li & SceniX Co-Founder Yunzhu Li on the data bottleneck in robotics and how world models help: "The lack of data in training, the lack of data in evaluation, this is very, very different from language models, where data is abundant on the internet." "And we know that in order for robotics to work, we have to somehow unlock the power of scaling law. But where does that come from?" "It's a profound problem that everybody's battling with in robotics." "We see a lot of unlock in being able to do this whole process through the modeling of the environments." "Being able to create these digital worlds... that's just going to unlock so much more potential for being able to replace all the costly and the unsafe data in the real environments with the data generated from the worlds for robots to be able to do scalable learning and evaluations."

"Visual-spatial intelligence is as fundamental as language." Fei-Fei Li says world models are the key to letting AI see the world, reason about it, interact with it, navigate it, and even 'build civilization upon it.' "It's very natural for me that World Labs' north star is to unlock spatial intelligence. The moment to me is right to do it." "We've got these ingredients—we've got compute, we've got a much deeper understanding of data, way deeper than [the ImageNet days]... and we've got some advancement of algorithms."
