Yann LeCun, Meta's AI lead, disputed Elon Musk's claims that AI would outsmart humanity soon. LeCun argued that AI is still far from reaching human-level intelligence and criticized Tesla's self-driving cars. He highlighted that AI systems are not currently as smart as a cat, as they lack the ability to remember, understand the physical world, and plan complex actions. LeCun emphasized that there is a conceptual gap preventing machines from reaching the intelligence of animals and humans. Musk, on the other hand, has expressed concerns about AI's potential dangers and its impact on humanity's growth.
