AMD is acquiring Fei-Fei Li's World Labs for $8.2 billion to strengthen its position in physical AI and spatial computing.

AMD announced an $8.2 billion all-stock acquisition of AI research firm World Labs, bringing renowned AI researcher Fei-Fei Li to the company. The deal aims to advance AMD's capabilities in world models and spatial intelligence to compete with NVIDIA in AI infrastructure.
