Heard in 6 episodes across 4 shows since Jun 2026

A world model in artificial intelligence is a machine learning system that builds an internal representation of an environment. It predicts how that environment changes over time in response to actions, simulating dynamics such as physics, object interactions, and causality. These models are designed to help AI agents plan, reason, and act without relying on constant real-world trial and error.
