Turing Award winner and former Meta AI chief Yann LeCun argues that the tech industry's singular focus on large language models (LLMs) is a flawed path that will not lead to true artificial general intelligence.

AI pioneer Yann LeCun has departed from Meta, warning that the AI industry is overly focused on large language models (LLMs) and is heading in the wrong direction. He advocates for a shift towards predictive world models.

Yann LeCun's new venture, AMI Labs, is set to revolutionize AI by focusing on 'world models' that simulate real-world dynamics, a departure from traditional large language models. The Paris-based startup, with a reported $3.5 billion valuation, aims to create more reliable and controllable AI for industries like healthcare and robotics.
