Introducing Cosmos Project: A New Frontier for AI Understanding
The launch of Nvidia's Cosmos project represents a significant step toward creating AI systems that can interact meaningfully with our physical environment. By simulating real-world scenarios, these models can learn not just to process data but to understand and predict real-life physics interactions, essentially enabling them to "think" about the world similarly to humans.
Leedan explains that the Cosmos initiative has been a decade in the making, driven by the necessity to provide AI with rich experiences, such as watching videos of physical interactions or simulating environments. This represents a shift from the traditional learning that relied mainly on text and theory.
