"I know Jensen," LeCun said at a recent event highlighting the Facebook parent company's 10-year anniversary of its Fundamental AI Research team.
Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI, LeCun said.
And the technology industry's current focus on language models and text data will not be enough to create the kinds of advanced human-like AI systems that researchers have been dreaming about for decades.
These so-called multimodal AI systems represent the next frontier, but their development won't come cheap.
And as more companies such as Meta and Google parent Alphabet research more advanced AI models, Nvidia could stand to gain even more of an edge, particularly if no other competition emerges.
