Yann LeCun Calls General Intelligence "Complete BS" And Deepmind CEO Hassabis Fires Back Publicly
Yann LeCun, Meta’s departing chief AI scientist, dismissed the notion of "general intelligence" as meaningless, calling it "complete BS" on a recent podcast. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis publicly rebuked LeCun on X, arguing that LeCun confuses general intelligence with universal intelligence and that the brain’s architecture is fundamentally general. The dispute underscores a deeper split in the AI community over the definition of intelligence and the plausibility of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). DeepMind continues to project that a form of minimal AGI could emerge by 2028, while LeCun remains skeptical of current scaling trends.
