AI ‘godfather’ Yann LeCun has ‘zero concerns’ about human extinction, says Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is ‘deluded’

Yann LeCun, the former Meta Chief AI Scientist, asserts he has zero concerns regarding human extinction, claiming that fears of AI extinction are overblown. He specifically describes Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei as deluded. LeCun shared these views while discussing rogue AI incidents, effective altruism, and his new company, AMI Labs. This dismissal highlights a significant divide among AI leadership, which may influence the industry direction and how the general public perceives AI risks.
