Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford professor and computer scientist, is widely seen as the “godmother of artificial intelligence”.
One of the most influential voices in AI, Li is best known for developing ImageNet, the database set up almost 20 years ago that has become the foundation of modern computer vision technology. Now, she is on a new mission as a start-up founder.
Her latest venture, World Labs, is building so-called spatial intelligence, which aims to understand our physical world. The company is building “world models”, which, unlike language models that only process language, are able to generate three-dimensional worlds. Her latest world model, Marble, came out in November.
