World Labs is developing a new frontier in AI called spatial intelligence, aiming to create AI systems that can generate, understand, reason with, and interact with physical and virtual spaces. This initiative involves building large world models and is being advanced through the acquisition of Cinex, a robotics company.
“We are building the next frontier of AI, which is what we call spatial intelligence.”
“spatial intelligence is about creating AI that has the ability to generate, understand, reason with and interact with spaces, whether it's physical or virtual.”
“And that's what World Labs is mostly focused on.”
