Comment by Yann LeCun
Computer scientist, AI researcher
AI could theoretically replace humans, but it is unlikely due to societal resistance. Humans would remain in control, effectively becoming the 'boss' of superintelligent AI systems. [...] He downplayed fears of a doomsday scenario caused by AI, labeling them as sci-fi clichés, and argued that current AI advancements are not close to achieving superintelligence. He suggested that to mitigate misuse and unreliability in AI, the focus should be on creating better AI systems with common sense and reasoning capabilities.

Quote confirmed via web search: Yann LeCun made these statements at NVIDIA GTC 2025 (March 2025) in his "Frontiers of AI and Computing" conversation with NVIDIA's Bill Dally. Multiple sources (Business Insider, Entrepreneur, TechTimes, AOL) carry the verbatim "we're going to be their boss" framing, his dismissal of doomsday scenarios as "sci-fi tropes," and his prescription for "better AI systems with common sense and reasoning." Source URL (businessinsider.com) was unreachable from this environment but the article exists. Author attribution (Computer scientist, AI researcher — Meta Chief AI Scientist, Turing laureate) is correct. The "against" vote on "Mandate the CERN for AI to build safe superintelligence" aligns with LeCun's position: he rejects the premise that superintelligence poses imminent existential risk, so he sees no need for a CERN-style safety megaproject. Year 2025 matches GTC 2025. Verified by claude-opus-4-7.
