While the rest of the AI industry races to label its work as “AGI” or “superintelligence,” Alexandre LeBrun, the CEO of Yann LeCun’s world model startup, AMI Labs, avoids the terms altogether. Lebrun said in an interview with TechCrunch that the company doesn’t use terms like “AGI” or “superintelligence” at all.
“We never used the word AGI. And I just noticed that nobody is using it anymore; they switched to superintelligence,” he said. “Next time we’ll switch to something else.” He isn’t sold on the new label either. “There’s no good definition. What is superintelligence? I don’t know. It’s not a very useful word.”
