近日，人工智能领域迎来了一则引人注目的消息：李飞飞创立的World Labs公司完成了新一轮的1亿美元融资，此次融资由NEA领投，使得World Labs的估值超过了10亿美元。这是继OpenAI推出ChatGPT聊天机器人之后，又一备受市场关注的AI初创公司。
World Labs成立于今年4月，在短短两个月内完成了两轮共计1亿美元的融资，投资方包括知名风险投资机构a16z以及AI基金Radical Ventures等。李飞飞，作为斯坦福大学的前计算机科学教授，于今年1月开始了为期两年的休假，并在LinkedIn上更新了自己的状态，表示将投身于“新事物”。
World Labs的成立正值人工智能领域快速发展之际，公司致力于开发能够准确估计现实世界物体和环境的三维物理特性的AI模型，以实现对现实世界的详细数字复制，减少对大量数据收集的依赖。这一目标与当前人工智能领域追求的高效、低成本数据收集与处理技术不谋而合。
李飞飞在6月份Databricks峰会上提出了“数字寒武纪”的概念，预示着空间智能时代的到来，这将使人类与机器能够在三维世界中实现更深入的互动。此外，她在斯坦福HAI活动中与a16z创始人Marc Andreessen的对话中，探讨了如何消除AI创新生态中的障碍。
此次融资的成功，不仅为World Labs的发展注入了强大动力，也预示着市场对杰出AI科学家创立的AI公司的持续看好。随着AI技术的不断进步，我们有理由相信，World Labs将为人工智能领域的创新与发展带来新的机遇和挑战。

Recently, the artificial intelligence sector received an eye-catching piece of news: Li Feifei’s World Labs completed a new round of $100 million financing, with NEA leading the investment, which raised the company’s valuation above $1 billion. This follows the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot, making World Labs another AI startup that has garnered market attention.
World Labs was established in April this year and completed two rounds of $100 million financing within just two months, with investors including well-known venture capital firms a16z and AI fund Radical Ventures. Li Feifei, a former computer science professor at Stanford University, began a two-year sabbatical in January and updated her status on LinkedIn, indicating her commitment to “new endeavors.”
Founded at a time when the artificial intelligence sector is rapidly developing, World Labs is dedicated to developing AI models that can accurately estimate the three-dimensional physical characteristics of real-world objects and environments, aiming to achieve a detailed digital replication of the real world and reduce dependence on extensive data collection. This goal aligns with the current pursuit in the AI field of efficient, low-cost data collection and processing technologies.
At the Databricks Summit in June, Li Feifei introduced the concept of “Digital Cambrian Explosion,” hinting at the arrival of the era of spatial intelligence, which will enable deeper interactions between humans and machines in the three-dimensional world. During a Stanford HAI event, she also discussed how to eliminate barriers in the AI innovation ecosystem in a dialogue with Marc Andreessen, the founder of a16z.
The success of this financing not only injects strong momentum into the development of World Labs but also indicates continued market optimism towards AI companies founded by outstanding AI scientists. As AI technology continues to advance, we have reason to believe that World Labs will bring new opportunities and challenges to the innovation and development of the artificial intelligence field.
