AI 'godfather' Prof Yan LeCun says it won't take over the world
Prof LeCun now works as the chief AI scientist at Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. He disagrees with his fellow godfathers that AI is a risk to the human race.
"Turbo jets were eventually made incredibly reliable and safe," and the same would happen with AI he said. When people raise concerns about the human-level or above machines that might exist in the future, they are referring to artificial general intelligence . These are systems, that like humans, can solve a wide range of problems.
Prof LeCun told the BBC: "This is not going to put a lot of people out of work permanently". But work would change because we have "no idea" what the most prominent jobs will be 20 years from now, he said.
