Spatial Intelligence as Foundation for Embodied AI

Fei-Fei Li on why spatial intelligence is the key missing piece of embodied AI: "Think about a very chaotic first responder scene. A fire, traffic accident, or some natural disaster. "If you immerse yourself in those scenes and think about how people organize themselves to rescue people—a lot of that is movements and spontaneous understanding of objects, worlds, human situational awareness." "Language is part of that; language cannot get you to put out a fire." "A simple way to understand a world model is that this model can allow anyone to create any worlds in their mind’s eye by prompting—whether it’s an image or a sentence—and also be able to interact in this world." "Let’s not underestimate that humans are embodied agents, and humans can be augmented by AI’s intelligence." "Just like today, humans are language animals, but we’re very much augmented by AI when helping us to do language tasks, including software engineering." @theworldlabs CEO @drfeifei with @lennysan
