The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) released a report on AI governance in the era of spatial intelligence and world models.

The report points out that while current AI policies focus heavily on large language models, governance frameworks must evolve beyond text-based modalities as AI begins to understand and simulate the physical world. It explores the unique security, economic, and ethical challenges posed by world models, urging regulators to proactively establish rules for the spatial intelligence era.
