Building Embodied AI: Why World Models Need Causality

Christopher Manning argues that current generative video models are insufficient for robotics because they lack underlying semantics. Moonlake AI is building action-conditioned world models that allow for physical interaction and planning, aiming to replace 10,000 hours of teleoperation with simulation.
