<3> A New Era in Artificial Intelligence
Yann LeCun, the former chief AI scientist at Meta, has been a long-time proponent of the idea that human-level AI will not come from mastering language, but rather from understanding the physical world. This radical approach has been met with skepticism by many in the AI community, but LeCun is undeterred. His new startup, AMI, aims to prove that his vision is not just a pipe dream, but a reality that can be achieved with the right combination of technology and funding.
