Frontiers of AI and Computing: A Conversation With Yann LeCun and Bill Dally | NVIDIA GTC 2025
Yann LeCun, Bill Dally
NVIDIA GTC 2025 · Session
This GTC 2025 fireside chat features two of the most influential figures in AI and computing: Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, and Bill Dally, Chief Scientist at NVIDIA. The conversation delves into the current state and future trajectory of Artificial Intelligence, moving beyond the prevailing focus on Large Language Models (LLMs) to explore more fundamental challenges in achieving advanced machine intelligence. LeCun outlines his vision for AI systems that can truly understand the physical world, possess persistent memory, and exhibit robust reasoning and planning capabilities, advocating for a paradigm shift in model architectures.
AI review
A fireside chat between two genuine heavyweights — LeCun and Dally know their stuff — but this is a high-altitude conversation about where AI research should go, not a talk about how to build anything. The JAPA/JEPA framing is real and interesting, but what's presented here is a vision document dressed up as technical content. Engineers leave knowing LeCun thinks LLMs are limited and world models in latent space are the future. They don't leave knowing how to do anything differently.
