AI 'godfather' Prof Yan LeCun says it won't take over the world.

AI pioneer Prof Yann LeCun dismissed concerns that AI will dominate the world or eliminate jobs. He called fears of AI threatening humanity "preposterously ridiculous" and stated that computers surpassing human intelligence is a distant prospect. Prof LeCun, one of the "godfathers of AI," disagreed with the notion that AI poses a risk to humanity, emphasizing that it is a projection of human nature onto machines. He advocated for open AI research, rejecting the idea of keeping it restricted.
