Link: The ‘godmother of AI’ has a new startup already worth $1 billion

World Labs hopes to use human-like processing of visual data to make AI capable of advanced reasoning, Reuters reported in May. The research to make it human-like, much like what ChatGPT is trying to do with generative AI, is still ongoing. Li is best known for her contributions to computer vision, a branch of AI dedicated to helping machines interpret and comprehend visual information. She also spearheaded the development of ImageNet, an extensive visual database used for visual object recognition research. Li headed AI at Google Cloud from 2017 to 2018 and currently advises the White House task force on AI. “[World Labs] is developing a model that understands the three-dimensional physical world; essentially the dimensions of objects, where things are and what they do,” an anonymous venture capitalist with knowledge of Li’s work told the Financial Times. #
