At a recent conference held in Seoul, S.Korea, Yaan LeCun, Chief AI Scientist, Facebook expressed an opinion that the real AI revolution is yet to come, and it will redefine how we humans interact with technology. In near future, our interaction with the digital world will be mediated by AI assistants or agents. LLMs such as ChatGPT and Llama have limitations, since they deal with NLP and language is simple and discrete. It cannot deal with the complexity of the real world. These systems do not have the ability to reason, plan and understand the physical world, the way humans do.
To overcome these limitations, Facebook is taking efforts to develop new AI architecture capable of observing and learning from the physical world.
LeCun also advocates open-source AI ecosystem. Models should be trained across the diverse cultural contexts, languages and value systems. What works on the west coast of the US, may not be suitable elsewhere.
He also advocates regulation that is light. Regulation should not stifle innovation.
