Shes 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..
She feels that todays deep-learning models need a similar boost if AI is to create actual worlds, whether theyre realistic simulations or totally imagined universes..
World Labs calls itself a spatial intelligence company, and its fate will help determine whether that term becomes a revolution or a punch line...
The next decade will be about generating new content that takes computer vision, deep learning, and AI out of the internet world, and gets them embedded in space and time, says Johnson, who is now an assistant professor at the University of Michigan...
