World models aren’t a sci-fi subplot, no, they’re how AIs build mini fake worlds in their silicon skulls to test ideas without wrecking your car or your reputation. In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down what world models actually are (spoiler: think The Sims, but the Sim is smarter than your cousin) and why they’re the key to helping AI go from pattern-recognizer to planner-in-chief. From smashing virtual wine glasses to simulating race tracks, it’s all about letting AI fail in private before it acts in public. Because nothing says progress like teaching machines to imagine physics before physics teaches them a lesson.
