Deepmind's Hassabis sees humanity "in the foothills of the singularity" while LeCun says current AI isn't intelligent

Yan LeCun believes that current AI systems are not truly intelligent, lacking the ability to learn from experience. In contrast, Demis Hassabis sees humanity at the threshold of a transformative shift toward general artificial intelligence. Oriol Vinyals adds that models today would have seemed like general AI seven years ago, yet they still need to achieve real breakthroughs. The differing opinions among these AI pioneers address the challenges facing current systems. LeCun emphasizes the absence of genuine intelligence, while Hassabis discusses the potential future advancements.
