Spatial AI News of the Week, with a serious NVIDIA focus, given their slew of major announcements at their 2024 Developer Conference.

Violet asks “How does an environment become intelligent with spatial sensing?” We discuss the concept of spatial intelligence in environments enabled by interconnected sensors, devices and systems – and the potential benefits like energy optimization in buildings or traffic coordination between self-driving cars, but also limitations around privacy concerns, commercial viability and single-purpose systems.

Spatial AI News of the Week – the weekly round up and dissection of hot news items from the co-hosts at SPAITIAL. Topics include: a new humanoid robot with subtle conversational abilities from Figure AI that combines multiple neural networks to understand its environment; a software engineer AI called Devin that can fix bugs, build websites, and perform other coding tasks across technologies; a handheld CNC machine called Origin for precision woodworking; and a potential future Apple laptop design with up to 7 cameras for spatial tracking and 3D avatar creation.

How do you make Spatial AI more accessible to everyone without needing to learn coding from scratch? Topics include the potential for natural language programming interfaces, the role of low/no code tools, whether coding will still be necessary, and how to design interfaces that allow non-experts to create things with Spatial AI.

Interview with Dr Scott Pezanowski, focusing on Scott’s background and experience in geospatial analysis, machine learning, and public health. We discuss Scott’s past projects relating to disease prediction and control, the integration of geospatial data and AI for predictive modeling – and future directions for ‘geo-AI’.

The field of Spatial AI is changing so rapidly. If you’re already on the leading edge, then congratulations, The burning question of today is how do you get there? How does someone fast follow? How do you catch up?

This week, we talk about the differences between the range of large/massive/general AI models – versus localising an AI to a language, a nation, a culture, a team – and finally – a person… you! How might that work? When will we see these models emerge? And when can I go on a date with my AI?

Hollywood’s version of robots has shaped both our perceptions AND our fears of a future world where robots are commonplace – but what is the current state of robotics in 2024 – and what converging technologies are we seeing now that gives us hope to one day have our own robot buddy?
