AI pioneer sees Korea's role in developing world model

AI pioneer Yann LeCun believes that South Korea will play a crucial role in developing the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) capable of understanding the physical world. LeCun, a leading figure in global AI academia and a recipient of the 2018 Turing Award, shared his insights during the Global AI Leaders Seoul Dialogue ahead of the fifth International Industrial AI Conference in Tokyo.

LeCun, founder of AMI Labs and former chief AI scientist at Meta, is renowned for his work on convolutional neural networks, which have transformed image recognition. He currently advises Project Tapestry, an AI Alliance initiative aimed at creating a large-scale AI model using federated learning, a method that enables AI models to learn from data stored across various locations without transferring the data to a central server.
