He serves as the executive chairman. LeCun says the approach being taken by all of the prevalent LLMs or large language models can’t lead to true human level intelligence. His research now is focused on World models…using Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture. In simple terms it learns the way a child learns and is able to do things….think robots for instance….without specific training. LLMs , which it seems everyone is using today, have their place.
