How Google's Genie 3 could change AI video - and let you build your own interactive worlds
AI is becoming increasingly adept at generating virtual environments that simulate real-world physics and respond dynamically to users.
Just as you're able to imagine sunlight illuminating the fixtures of your living room, or the effect that a stone dropped into a still pond will have on the water's surface, an AI "world model" can do more than just string words together or generate a lifelike image. It's another for a model to intuitively grasp the physics of gravity, the distance that broken glass should scatter on carpet versus a tile floor, and the fact that a human hand carelessly touching one of those shards could lead to a wound and bleeding. As the narrator in the Genie 3 demo video suggests, world models could have valuable applications beyond helping to generate more realistic, dynamic, and interactive forms of entertainment.
