Geoffery Hinton, a key figure in deep learning, recently left Google due to concerns about AI’s dangers, in sharp contrast to Yann LeCun, who finds optimism in AI's future. As Meta's chief AI scientist, LeCun highlights AI's limitations, asserting it is "dumber than a cat." Despite winning the Turing Award with Hinton and Bengio, LeCun believes apprehensions about AI's present state are overstated, advocating for focusing on beneficial applications instead of fears, marking a divergent perspective in the ongoing discourse about AI and ethics.
"While my co-awardees, Geoffery Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, see the current developments in AI with caution, I tend to view them optimistically; I believe AI is still fundamentally 'dumber than a cat.'"
"I can't help but feel that the current fears around AI are somewhat exaggerated. We need to focus on the practical applications that can genuinely benefit society."
