Fei-Fei Li cautioned that AI development overemphasizes language models while neglecting physical, visual, spatial, and dynamic aspects of the real world. She noted that most economic activity depends on embodied intelligence through seeing, moving, and interacting with the environment. The comments were delivered during an onstage panel discussion, and video clips of the session spread on X.
