About this episode
Fei-Fei Li discusses the importance of spatial intelligence in AI and the innovations at World Labs.

Fresh off the commercial launch of Marble — World Labs’ generative world model that turns simple prompts into fully editable 3D environments — she joins host Molly Welch to explore why modeling and reasoning about the physical world remains the missing dimension in today’s AI paradigm. Drawing on the legacy of her ImageNet work, which helped ignite the deep learning revolution, Fei-Fei shares why spatial intelligence is her latest North Star and how World Labs is building frontier models that give creators unprecedented control over virtual worlds.
