TechnicalAI glossary
World model
An AI model that learns the rules of the physical world (gravity, reflections, object motion) rather than just sequences of words or pixels. This is one of DeepMind's flagship areas of expertise for generating coherent videos and environments, and a serious avenue towards AIs that truly understand their surroundings.
In other words
The difference between memorising photos of a billiard table and understanding how the balls bounce.
