Meta’s AI leadership is under scrutiny as veteran scientist Yann LeCun questions the experience of new AI chief Alexander Wang. LeCun, a former Meta AI scientist, fears Wang’s leadership, following Meta’s acquisition of Scale AI and a significant stake in the company, could lead to talent departures. LeCun believes Meta’s current AI research direction, focused on “safe and proved” approaches and LLMs, may hinder innovation and the pursuit of superintelligence, contrasting with his own focus on “world models.”
