Training AI world models on data about physical environments could improve their real-world capabilities in technologies such ...

Instead of just predicting words, world models actually learn how the physical world works, which is the "common sense" AI ...

Gary Marcus, professor emeritus at NYU, explains the differences between large language models and "world models" — and why he thinks the latter are key to achieving artificial general intelligence.

Large language models spread at unprecedented speed, but they also erased much of the competitive gradient. Everyone has access to the same models, the same interfaces, and, increasingly, the same ...

Step aside, LLMs. The next big step for AI is learning, reconstructing and simulating the dynamics of the real world. Barbara is a tech writer specializing in AI and emerging technologies. With a ...

In recent years, we’ve become used to seeing text, pictures, videos and even computer code generated by AI. But what if it could go a step further and create entire worlds? Well, for developers ...

While no one has figured out how to make money from generative artificial intelligence, that hasn’t stopped Google DeepMind from pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with a big pile of inference.

World Labs Technologies, a company founded by AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li that’s focused on developing breakthrough artificial intelligence models, today announced the launch of its first commercial world ...

You’ve probably seen an artificial intelligence system go off track. You ask for a video of a dog, and as the dog runs behind the love seat, its collar disappears. Then, as the camera pans back, the ...

The researchers who built modern AI say it’s still missing something fundamental. Goldman Sachs explains what it is—and why ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Gerui Wang writes about AI, society, media, and culture. Fei-Fei Li, a recipient of the 2025 Queen Elizabeth Prize for ...
