In this episode of the Colaberry AI Podcast, we explore a visionary concept from renowned AI researcher Fei-Fei Li, who argues that spatial intelligence—the ability to understand and interact with the physical world—is the next great frontier for artificial intelligence. While large language models have mastered text and reasoning, they remain confined to symbolic understanding. True progress, Li contends, will come from AI systems that can perceive, model, and engage with the world itself.
Drawing from her essay From Words to Worlds: Spatial Intelligence, Li proposes the development of world models, a new class of generative systems that combine three essential properties: they are generative, multimodal, and interactive with their environments. These models wouldn’t just describe the world—they would simulate it, reasoning about spatial relationships, time, and causality. The episode also touches on the philosophical discussions sparked by this vision, including questions of consistency, perception, and ethics within AI-generated worlds.
