Originally Published 1 year ago — by Forbes

Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, criticizes generative AI for its limitations in understanding and interacting with the world, advocating for a shift to Objective-Driven AI that aims to create systems capable of genuine understanding, reasoning, and interaction. LeCun emphasizes the need for AI to develop "world models" and causal reasoning abilities, envisioning a future where AI can collaborate with humans and navigate the complexity of the real world with intelligence and purpose. While acknowledging the challenges, LeCun remains optimistic about the potential for groundbreaking scientific discoveries and the evolution of AI, calling for a philosophical and technical reevaluation within the AI community.
