AMD CEO Lisa Su & Fei-Fei Li 8-Minute Interview Highlights Why did AMD bet $8.2 billion on Fei-Fei Li? The answer goes beyond just an AI model company. In an exclusive Bloomberg interview, AMD CEO Lisa Su and World Labs co-founder and CEO Fei-Fei Li systematically explained the logic behind this deal for the first time. Lisa Su believes AI is still in its early stages, and future success won’t just depend on larger models but on whether hardware, software, systems, and models can achieve end-to-end synergy. What AMD values is World Labs’ research capabilities in spatial intelligence, physical intelligence, and world models, as well as the top-tier research team led by Fei-Fei Li. Fei-Fei Li stated that World Labs aims to push AI from understanding language to understanding the real world: models shouldn’t just generate images but must have 3D and 4D consistency, enabling cameras, agents, and robots to perceive, reason, and act within the world. Joining AMD means model development can evolve alongside cutting-edge computing power, training, and inference systems. The two also discussed open ecosystems and AI safety: businesses need choices rather than being locked into a single hardware-software system; safety shouldn’t be a patch added after capabilities are developed but should serve as a foundational constraint during the development process. The significance of this deal may lie here: AMD didn’t acquire a single-point model product but rather a ticket to the next generation of AI—one that integrates spatial intelligence, physical AI, and full-stack computing synergy.
