AI Is 'Not Smart' — So What's the Next Stage of Artificial Intelligence?
Key point
AMI Labs, founded by Yann LeCun, is developing a new AI architecture called JEPA to overcome the limitations of LLMs.
Details
AMI Labs, founded by Meta's former Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun, is developing a new AI system that goes beyond the limitations of existing LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.).
LeCun points out that current LLMs merely accumulate and reproduce knowledge based on statistical patterns, lacking a fundamental understanding of the physical world or genuine reasoning ability. He particularly argues that in the field of robotics, LLMs have limitations in handling the complex variables of real-world environments.
The technology AMI Labs is focusing on is JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture).
- JEPA's characteristics: Generates abstractions of the world to predict the outcomes of actions
- How it works: Designed to understand physical reality by filtering out unnecessary information and retaining only useful information
- Goal: To go beyond simple text generation and implement intelligence capable of processing real-world data and solving complex situations
AMI Labs has recently secured over $1 billion (approximately 1.3 trillion KRW) in seed funding from investors including Nvidia and Jeff Bezos's fund, accelerating the development of next-generation AI architecture.
