Meta’s AI Chief believes hyperbolic warnings about artificial intelligence’s (A.I.) powers as being ‘complete B.S.’ The rise of AI in numerous industries worldwide has led many to be concerned about its future, including its impact on jobs and human connections. In contrast, the college professor and Meta AI Chief, Yann LeCun, replies with “You’re going to have to pardon my French, but that’s complete B.S.” when asked whether we should be afraid that AI will soon grow so powerful they pose a hazard to humans. The 64-year-old French-American computer scientist has published works featuring research into AI, machine learning, robotics, and more.
