Yann LeCun says the next AI breakthrough will come from world models, not LLMs

AMI Labs founder Yann LeCun said in Seoul on Monday that the next AI breakthrough will come from systems that understand and predict the physical world rather than from large language models.

He said today's AI lacks the ability to understand reality, citing robots that cannot complete tasks without training and the absence of L5 self-driving cars, and argued that world models can learn physical laws and causal relationships to predict the results of actions.
