... In describing the startup, one source pointed to a talk Li gave at the TED conference in Vancouver last month, in which she said the cutting edge of research involved algorithms that could plausibly extrapolate what images and text would look like in three-dimensional environments and act upon those predictions, using a concept called "spatial intelligence." ...
Li has lamented a funding gap on AI research between a well-resourced private sector on one side and academics and government labs on the other, calling for a "moonshot mentality" from the U.S. government to invest in scientific applications of the technology and research into its risks.
Her Stanford profile says she is on partial leave from the beginning of 2024 to the end of 2025. Among the research interests listed on her profile are "cognitively inspired AI," computer vision and robotic learning. ...
