Meta's LeCun: Despite Hype, True AI Still Distant; Openness and Diversity Needed
- LeCun believes large language models are limited and don't understand the real world; we still have a long way to go before achieving human-level AI
- Meta's goal is to build AI with "characteristics that intelligent beings have" like understanding the physical world, planning, and reasoning
- LeCun advocates for an open source approach so AI systems reflect the diversity of languages, cultures, and values
- LeCun calls the idea that AI could pose an existential threat "preposterous" and believes regulation is unnecessary
- Upcoming updates to Meta's Llama language model will focus on improved performance and multimodality
