In the beginning of the universe, all was darkness — until the first organisms developed sight, which ushered in an explosion of life, learning and progress.

AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li says a similar moment is about to happen for computers and robots.

She shows how machines are gaining "spatial intelligence" — the ability to process visual data, make predictions and act upon those predictions — and shares how this could enable AI to interact with humans in the real world.
