World Model Workshop: See the World Through Your Pet’s Eyes
What if you could experience the world through another mind?
For one evening, step outside the human point of view.
When you arrive, your pet for the evening will be waiting for you.
Step into its senses, instincts, and way of understanding reality. Then join a small group of people from different backgrounds and imagine together:
What would the world look like through its eyes?
By the end of the evening, you’ll turn that perspective into an explorable AI-generated 3D world and step inside the worlds created by everyone else.
What You’ll Get
🌎 Understand World Models
Get a beginner-friendly introduction to one of the most exciting ideas in AI from an AI researcher.
🎨 See Through an Artist’s Eyes
Hear how an artist from Stanford thinks about perception, space, perspective, and the worlds we create.
🐾 Explore Perspective & Empathy
Experience how another creature might sense and understand the same reality differently, and practice seeing beyond your own point of view.
✨ Turn an Idea Into a World
Imagine together, exchange ideas, and bring your group’s perspective to life as an explorable 3D world.
🤝 Meet People Outside Your Usual Circle
Create alongside people from tech, art, design, research, and other backgrounds. Share stories, make friends, and build something together.
Who Is This For?
Come if you’re curious about:
AI, world models, and spatial intelligence
Art, creativity, and new ways of seeing
Animals, perception, and empathy
Meeting thoughtful people from different backgrounds
Making something together instead of just listening to another talk
No AI, art, or technical experience is required.
Your Pet Is Waiting 🐾
We won’t tell you everything in advance.
When you arrive, you’ll meet your pet for the evening, find others entering the same world, and create together from its point of view.
At the end, we’ll take a World Tour through the different realities created in the room.
Same room.
Different minds.
Completely different worlds.
What to Bring
Bring a phone. That’s all you need to participate.
If you have a laptop, feel free to bring it. We’ll create in small groups, and having a larger screen can make it easier for everyone to build and explore the world together.
Light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided.
Create, Share & Stay Connected
The experience doesn’t have to end when the workshop does.
Participants will be invited to join the AIC Discord community, where you can stay connected with people you meet, share work, exchange ideas, and continue conversations after the event.
You’ll also have the opportunity to submit your artwork to be featured on the AIC website.
If you enjoy writing, you can submit reflections, essays, or stories about your creative process, ideas, or relationship with AI and art. Selected artwork and writing may be featured through AIC as part of our growing creative community.
