Lisa Su and Fei-Fei Li explain AMD's World Labs deal together
Ed Ludlow's joint interview with both chief executives, on a chipmaker buying an AI lab, left a usual Bloomberg Tech debut far behind.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 107,059 views a day, 19 times a normal first day on this channel (5,626).
AMD Acquires Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs for $8.2 Billion
Two chief executives, one interview. AMD's Lisa Su and World Labs' Fei-Fei Li sat down with Ed Ludlow to explain why the chipmaker is buying Li's AI startup, and the video, "AMD Acquires Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs for $8.2 Billion," became the busiest thing on Bloomberg Tech almost as soon as it went up.
A new upload here usually has a gentle first day. This one started at about nineteen times that pace and reached close to forty thousand views within a day, enough to lift the whole channel a little above its ordinary daily level.
The pairing is what makes the conversation unusual. Su is the engineer credited with steering AMD back into the front rank of chipmakers after she took the top job in 2014. Li is a Stanford computer scientist best known for ImageNet, the image dataset that helped set off the deep learning boom. World Labs, which she co-founded, works on what she calls spatial intelligence, AI that can understand and build three-dimensional worlds. According to the description, the deal is all stock, and the two talk about a shared vision for AI across every layer, from chips to models, and about the industry taking shared responsibility for building technology that is safe and benefits everyone.
