The father of AI contradicts Elon Musk and Sam Altman.👎👁️
"I am tired of the term general artificial intelligence"
Yann LeCun, from Meta, has been quite forceful about this: this technology will not pose a threat in the purest Terminator or Matrix style, no matter what they say.
Both Elon Musk and Sam Altman frequently talk about general artificial intelligence (AGI), and the possibilities it will offer in the future. However, some experts are not at all clear that this will become a reality.
Among them, one of the greatest specialists regarding this technology, one of its "fathers".
According to him, talking about general artificial intelligence not only represents a mistake but a very dangerous one.
Mainly because it confuses people, who tend to associate tools like ChatGPT with apocalyptic scenarios in the purest Terminator or Matrix style.
That is, a moment when AI will have its own consciousness and things like that, which really generate uncertainty.
What if Elon Musk and Sam Altman were wrong about AI?
There is much talk about general artificial intelligence. Among them, high-profile figures like Elon Musk or Sam Altman, the main person responsible for ChatGPT. However, not everyone agrees with this view.
Not to mention, Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist at Meta and one of the leading specialists in deep learning currently available.
To begin with, it is worth understanding well what general artificial intelligence is. Basically, it refers to a hypothetical artificial intelligence capable of performing any cognitive task that a human being can do.
Or in other words, a technology that is more or less capable of reasoning by itself, without any supervision and in a way that it makes its own decisions.
