From CNET: Meta says a new generative AI model it released Wednesday could change how machines understand the physical world, opening up opportunities for smarter robots and more.
The new open-source model, called V-JEPA 2 for Video Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture 2, is designed to help AI understand things like gravity and object permanence, Meta said.
Current models that allow AI to interact with the physical world rely on labelled data or video to mimic reality, but this approach emphasizes the logic of the physical world, including how objects move and interact. The model could allow AI to understand concepts like the fact that a ball rolling off of a table will fall.
Meta said the model could be useful for devices like autonomous vehicles and robots by ensuring they don't need to be trained on every possible situation. The company called it a step toward AI that can adapt like humans can.
