Episode notes
World Models Enable Planning
- A world model lets an AI simulate cause and effect to plan complex actions.
- Jad Tarifi says world models are essential for operating in both digital and physical worlds.
Video Prediction Isn't Enough
- Video prediction alone is unreliable, inefficient, and hallucinates as a world model.
- Jad argues unsupervised abstraction and new architectures are needed for robust world models.
Define AGI By Autonomous Learning
- Define AGI as a model that can learn autonomously without humans in the loop.
- Measure AGI by its reliable, energy-efficient ability to teach itself new skills at or below human cost.
