World Labs aims to build AI that understands and manipulates 3D space, a capability beyond language
  • Spatial intelligence is defined as the human ability to perceive, reason about, and act within a three‑dimensional environment.
  • Fei‑Fei likens it to everyday tasks like packing a sandwich or navigating a mountain trail.
  • Current AI excels at language but remains early in spatial reasoning; World Labs seeks to close that gap.
  • The platform will combine vision, physics simulation, and embodied cognition to let machines “see and do” in both virtual and real worlds.
  • Mastering spatial intelligence opens doors for robotics, AR/VR, and advanced design tools.

“Spatial intelligence is a capability that humans have which goes beyond language is when you pack a sandwich in a bag, when you take a run or a hike in a mountain, when you paint your bedroom – everything that has to do with seeing and turning that scene into understanding of the 3D world.” — Dr. Fei‑Fei Li

From this concept
