AI video generators can’t understand the laws of physics solely by watching videos, scientists have found. Coming hot on the heels of chatbots and image generators, AI video generators like Sora and Runway have already been delivering impressive results. But a team of scientists from Bytedance Research, Tsinghua University, and Technion were curious to learn if such models could discover physical laws from visual data without any additional human input. While in the real world, we understand physics through math, in the world of video generation, an AI model that understands physics should be able to watch a sequence of…
