According to Yann LeCun, a prominent player in the field of artificial intelligence, “we don’t have robots that are nearly as good at understanding the physical world as a rat.” He worked for Facebook-owner, Meta, for a decade, where he was head AI scientist, then left in 2025 and started Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs (AMI Labs).
His goal is to move AI beyond current systems like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. They have their purposes, he argues, but will never be able to tackle intricate circumstances in the real world, like getting a robot to undertake home chores. “On the fringes of VivaTech, France’s premier technology conference, he tells me, “They’re not a path towards human level or human-like intelligence, or even animal-like intelligence, because they can’t deal with real world data, they just aren’t built for that.” So, Paris-based AMI Labs is working inventing a new sort of artificial intelligence not based on the tech powering ChatGPT and its rivals.
Investors think it has potential. Earlier this year AMI Labs revealed that it had secured more than $1bn (£760m), with investors including US computer chip giant Nvidia and the fund that controls the private wealth of Amazon-founder Jeff Bezos.
