- Spatial intelligence is AI’s next frontier, enabling machines to interact with and understand the physical world.
- Current AI, like large language models (LLMs), excels in abstract knowledge but lacks spatial grounding.
- Spatial intelligence is foundational to human cognition, creativity, and problem-solving, from everyday tasks to scientific breakthroughs.
- AI’s current spatial capabilities are limited, struggling with tasks like distance estimation, object rotation, and physics prediction.
- World models are proposed as the next step for AI, requiring generative, multimodal, and interactive capabilities to simulate real and virtual worlds.
- Applications of spatial intelligence span creativity, robotics, healthcare, education, and scientific research, enhancing human capabilities.
- World Labs’ Marble platform is an early example, enabling creators to build and explore 3D worlds with AI assistance.
- The development of spatial intelligence aligns with a vision of AI that augments human potential rather than replacing it.
