Fei-Fei Li: The Future of AI Vision Lies in 3D
2024-12-12
AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li delivered a keynote at NeurIPS, outlining her vision for computer vision. She argues that true visual intelligence requires moving beyond 2D image processing to 3D spatial understanding. Her startup, World Labs, is focused on giving AI 'spatial intelligence' – the ability to generate, reason within, and interact with 3D worlds. This unlocks creativity and productivity, impacting robotics, VR/AR, and more. Li stresses the need for substantial computing power and data, advocating for increased public sector investment in AI research.
