IGNITE SEMINAR | World Models, Large Language Models, and the Future of AI

The IGNITE Institute cordially invites you to attend our Academic Seminar on the topic:

“World Models, Large Language Models, and the Future of AI”

This discussion focuses on analyzing the new research of Prof. Fei-Fei Li (Stanford University & World Labs) – an approach that is marking a significant milestone for the next phase of AI. The seminar will also critique these arguments and compare them with the concepts of Physical AI proposed by Yann LeCun, Rich Sutton, and other scholars. Additionally, the session will open a discussion on AI opportunities and strategies for Vietnam in a context where "world models" are poised to become a global trend.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Ai Viet – Director of IGNITE Institute

3.Can World Models lead to Strong AI, and what is the feasibility of this path?
