Note: I select clips with insights from these much longer conversation with the hope of helping make these ideas more accessible and discoverable. Ultimately, this podcast is a small side hobby for me with the goal of sharing and discussing ideas. For now, I post a few clips every Tue & Fri. I did a poll and 92% of people either liked or loved the posting of daily clips, 2% were indifferent, and 6% hated it, some suggesting that I post them on a separate YouTube channel. I hear the 6% and partially agree, so am torn about the whole thing. I tried creating a separate clips channel but the YouTube algorithm makes it very difficult for that channel to grow unless the main channel is already very popular. So for a little while, I’ll keep posting clips on the main channel. I ask for your patience and to see these clips as supporting the dissemination of knowledge contained in nuanced discussion. If you enjoy it, consider subscribing, sharing, and commenting.
Yann LeCun is one of the fathers of deep learning, the recent revolution in AI that has captivated the world with the possibility of what machines can learn from data. He is a professor at New York University, a Vice President & Chief AI Scientist at Facebook, co-recipient of the Turing Award for his work on deep learning. He is probably best known as the founder of convolutional neural networks, in particular their early application to optical character recognition.

Will human level Ai, if it is ever built to be socialized… will it have inherent restrictions like humans do?

👍👍 Lex and Yann Thank You both for this illuminating discussion. 👌👌
My thoughts: Present day ML is mostly derived from mathematical Calculus methods closely related to partial derivatives for gradient descent – which seems to consume crazy amounts of examples and even then nearly Zero transfer learning to future novel configurations i.e. Not actually retaining learning – which is not at all like human Babies/Childrens YOLO ;
.. and after viewing this video I'm motivated to add just now that almost all the ML models ( except for maybe Hinton capsule networks ) so far almost completely ignore abstraction/encapsulation/chunking up data, at least at the "correct", that is to say "human recognizable/verifiable" symbolic granularity
So similar to Hinton I believe AGI is more likely to evolve from neuroscience ..(contact me for the missing ingredients of the secret sauce 😘).. if UofT neurotech guys would just listen to me 👍😁
.. If it works when we get to it – Either I'll let you know what I find out, or let She tell you herself 😊
It's not a sequence of peaks, it's more like a big mountain with many crevices and vertical walls of different size as obstacles along the way to the summit. Initially when you are far away you can only see the big mountain and plan a general route to the summit, then as you approach you bump into the smaller obstacles. In that respect, Allen Newell's General Problem Solver was the big mountain, it formalized the basic principle for solving problems – the graph search. That principle is like the basis of AI, it tells you that it is possible for a computer program to solve any problem without having a prior explicit algorithm for that particular problem, which is the essence of intelligence in general, and gives the approach how to do that – graph search. That's why I guess they got so excited back then when they discovered it and thought they had solved AI and that we would have general purpose AI in 10 years. Then they bumped into the first crevice – graph search is exponential, and 50 years later we are still trying to cross over that crevice. Throwing tons of data or petaflops of computing power at it won't solve it, it's the nature of exponential problems, brute force approach don't work there.
Is something wrong with audio?
I know of human AI. these guys are shills
We currently have a President who is stupid 3 ways.
What a fantastic Conversation.
Now we are getting somewhere. This is the most practical talk I have seen on your channel. Good work!
Self Supervised Learning, Model Predictive Control
Yann Lecun has interesting views but he comes across wierdly overconfident. Makes me wonder how it is to work with him "let me try this, it looks prom…." – "No! This is not how it will work, that's not transformative!" Weird. Just saying
