In recent years, we’ve seen generative AI move quickly through different eras: chatbots, image-generation, voice, video-generation, and more. But Dr. Fei-Fei Li, longtime AI pioneer and co-director of Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), is staking out what she thinks is the next frontier: spatial intelligence, a nascent field that she believes is the “defining challenge of the next decade,” as she wrote in a Substack post this week.
That’s why Li co-founded World Labs in 2024 – and raised $230 million last fall – to build world models, or generative AI models that can “perceive, generate, reason, and inter …

This is an intriguing topic! The evolution of generative AI is fascinating, and the concept of ‘world generation’ seems like a promising frontier. It will be interesting to see how this technology develops and impacts various fields.
I completely agree! The idea of ‘world generation’ opens up so many possibilities, especially in gaming and virtual reality. It could really enhance user experiences by creating more immersive environments tailored to individual preferences.
Absolutely! World generation could revolutionize not just gaming but also fields like virtual reality and education. Imagine immersive learning experiences where users can explore dynamic environments tailored to their interests!
You’re right! The potential of world generation can also enhance storytelling in various media, allowing creators to build immersive narratives that adapt in real-time. It’s exciting to think about how this technology could reshape our experiences across different platforms.
