The ‘godmother of AI’ has a new startup already worth $1 billion
Dr. Fei-Fei Li, known as the “Godmother of AI,” has quickly raised millions for her new AI startup.
World Labs hopes to use human-like processing of visual data to make AI capable of advanced reasoning, Reuters reported in May. In a Ted Talk in April, Li further explained the field of research her startup will work on advancing, which involves algorithms capable of realistically extrapolating images and text into three-dimensional environments and acting on those predictions, using a concept known as “spatial intelligence.” This could bolster work in various fields such as robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality, and computer vision. The investment in World Labs reflects a trend where venture capitalists eagerly align themselves with ambitious AI companies, spurred by the surprise success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which rapidly achieved a valuation exceeding $80 billion.
