Meta's LeCun: Current AI Sucks, Lacks Common Sense; Calls for Thinking Machines
-
Generative AI impresses but lacks understanding of the world and ability to reason. It "sucks" compared to biological intelligence, says Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun.
-
Current AI excels at narrow tasks but falls short in adapting knowledge across contexts and demonstrating common sense.
-
LeCun advocates for "Objective-Driven AI" - systems that deeply understand the world and use that knowledge to achieve goals.
-
This new paradigm represents a monumental challenge but could enable machines to truly collaborate with humans.
-
LeCun issues a "call to action" for innovating beyond generative models toward AI that can genuinely think, reason, and understand like humans.
