AI FOR THE REAL WORLD: A CONVERSATION WITH YANN LECUN

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Today's LLMs may be commercially valuable, but predicting text alone will not lead to human-level intelligence because language is only a small fraction of how humans understand the world. Future AI systems will instead rely on “world models” that learn abstract representations of physics, causality, and consequences, enabling planning, reasoning, and adaptation in real-world environments like robotics, healthcare, factories, and industrial systems.
