Comment by Yann LeCun

I don't like the phrase AGI. I prefer human-level intelligence because human intelligence is not general. Internally, we call this AMI-advanced machine intelligence. We have a pretty good plan on how to get there. First, we are building systems that understand the physical world-which learn by watching videos. Second, we need LLMs to have persistent memory. Humans have a special structure in the brain that stores our working memory, our long-term memory, factual, episodic memory. We don't have that in LLMs. And the third most important thing is the ability to plan and reason. AI Verified source (2024)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified: This matches Yann LeCun's well-documented views from late 2024 interviews. The Economic Times URL was blocked by WebFetch, but multiple corroborating sources confirm: (1) he dislikes "AGI" and prefers "AMI/advanced machine intelligence" - he literally went on to found a startup called AMI Labs in 2026; (2) his three-pillar agenda of world models from video, persistent memory, and planning/reasoning is his standard talking points (e.g., Columbia, FT, TIME interviews). The vote "for" Build AGI aligns with LeCun's active work toward human-level intelligence, even if he prefers different terminology. Year 2024 is correct. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 7d ago
