Li: AGI is more of a marketing term than a scientific one
“I feel AGI is more a marketing term than a scientific term. As a scientist and technologist, AI is my North Star, is my field's North Star, and I'm happy people call it whatever name they want to call it.”
Dr. Fei-Fei Li: Scaling laws alone are not enough; AI needs innovation
“I think scaling laws of more data, more GPUs and bigger current model architecture is there's still a lot to be done there, but I absolutely think we need to innovate more.”
Li: Self-driving cars on 2D surfaces are simpler than 3D robotics
“And self-driving cars are much simpler robots. They're just metal boxes running on two D surfaces. And the goal is not to touch anything. Robot is three D things running in three D world. And the goal is to touch things.”
Li: Spatial intelligence and world models are as important as LLMs
“We believe that spatial intelligence and world modeling is As important, if not more, to language models and complementary to language models.”
