Part 4/7:
The dialogue around AI is fractured among its pioneers. While two of the three "godfathers" of AI—Geoffrey Hinton and Yudkowsky—express dire warnings about humanity's future, Yann Lecun maintains a less dire outlook, arguing that dangerously intelligent AI is still far off. Lecun believes that true intelligence requires an understanding of the physical world, which current models lack.
However, as newer models like Project Groot from Nvidia illustrate, robots are learning to navigate their environments more effectively, breaking down barriers that once seemed insurmountable. The collaborations and capabilities of these AI systems propose a future where robots could significantly alter daily human experiences—if humanity continues to exist.
