Why AI Godfather, Yann LeCun, is making a billion-dollar gamble to give AI common sense: Explained

Yann LeCun, who is hailed as the Godfather of AI, recently published a paper that changes the way AI models are designed and developed. Unlike the current generation of AI models that rely on what they have read endlessly for hours after training, LeCun’s paper says you can make AI models have common sense, i.e., understand the world like a human being.

The AI Godfather walked away from Meta to prove that today’s generative AI boom is heading toward a dead end. His new startup, AMI Labs, is building an architecture designed to learn the laws of physics before it ever learns language.
