We don’t have machines that grasp the physical world as well as rats,” says Yann LeCun, a prominent player in the field of artificial intelligence. He spent a decade as chief AI scientist at Meta, which is owned by Facebook, before leaving in 2025 to start Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs.
His goal is to advance AI beyond existing systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. He believes that while they have their purposes, they cannot handle complex real-world scenarios, such as having a robot perform household tasks.They’re not a path to human-level or human-like intelligence, or even animal-like intelligence, because they can’t cope with real-world data; they’re simply not designed for it,” he tells me on the fringes of VivaTech, France’s premier technology convention.
So, Paris-based AMI Labs is working on a new sort of artificial intelligence that is not dependent on the technology used by ChatGPT and its competitors. Investors believe it has potential. Earlier this year, AMI Labs revealed that it had secured more than $1 billion (£760 million) from investors including US computer chip firm Nvidia and the organization that controls Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ private wealth.
