Meta’s AI boss says there’s an ‘AI war’ underway and Nvidia is ‘supplying the weapons’

The outspoken executive also said that Meta isn’t pursuing quantum computing because it isn’t currently useful.

Meta AI boss Yann LeCun sounded off on the industry-wide state of artificial intelligence and quantum computing during a recent event to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the founding of Meta’s Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) team. 

During LeCun’s commentary, he commented on Nvidia’s current stranglehold on the AI hardware industry, the likelihood human-level AI will emerge in the near future, and why Meta isn’t currently pursuing quantum computing alongside its competitors.

LeCun’s views on the imminence of so-called human-level AI are well-documented.

By comparison, Elon Musk recently gave the bold prediction that a “Digital God” would arrive within the next 3 to 5 years.
