Definition and scope of general world models

A world model is an AI system that builds an internal representation of an environment to simulate future events within it. Current research is limited to toy simulated worlds (e.g., video games) or narrow domains (e.g., driving). General world models aim to represent and simulate diverse, real-world situations and interactions.

Runway Research | Introducing General World Models

Original excerpt

A world model is an AI system that builds an internal representation of an environment, and uses it to simulate future events within that environment. Research in world models has so far been focused on very limited and controlled settings, either in toy simulated worlds (like those of video games ) or narrow contexts (such as developing world models for driving ). The aim of general world models will be to represent and simulate a wide range of situations and interactions, like those encountered in the real world.
