AI pioneer sees Korea's role in developing world model
Developing industrial artificial intelligence (AI) requires "world AI" capable of understanding the physical world, and Korea has an increasingly important role to play in this field, according to Yann LeCun, widely regarded as one of the four leading figures in the global AI academia. LeCun and a number of other leading experts shared their views during the Global AI Leaders Seoul Dialogue, an…
Yann LeCun, a renowned AI scientist and recipient of the Turing Award, believes that Korea is increasingly important in the development of industrial artificial intelligence (AI). This perspective was shared during the Global AI Leaders Seoul Dialogue, an event held ahead of the fifth International Industrial AI Conference in Tokyo.
LeCun, known for pioneering convolutional neural networks, which transformed image recognition, is also the founder of AMI Labs and former chief AI scientist and vice president at Meta. He currently serves as chief science adviser to Project Tapestry, an initiative under the AI Alliance aimed at developing a large-scale AI model using federated learning.
This method allows AI models to learn from data stored across various countries or companies without requiring data transfer to a central server.
