Keynote: Yann LeCun, "Human-Level AI"

Oct 13, 2024

There are four essential characteristics of human intelligence that current AI systems don’t possess: reasoning, planning, persistent memory, and understanding the physical world. Once we have systems with such capabilities, it will still take a while before we bring them up to human level.

Why is nobody talking about AI world models?

Aug 20, 2025

AI isn’t just generating videos anymore — it’s generating entire worlds. In this deep dive, I’ll break down the rise of AI World Models: Google’s Genie 3, NVIDIA’s Cosmos, and OpenAI’s Sora — and why they’re the closest thing yet to a real-life Holodeck.

As an Ex-Googler who spent years building real-world models, I’ll show you how these systems work, where they’re headed, and why this race will reshape robotics, virtual reality, and the future of content itself. IMO this tech is bigger than LLMs and a key part of AGI people miss completely.

Covered in this video:
• Google Genie 3: Interactive video generation and single-image 3D reconstruction.
• NVIDIA Cosmos & Omniverse: The hybrid approach to building digital twins for Embodied AI using game engine and 3d simulation technology.
• The World Model Wars: How Google, OpenAI (Sora), Runway, and NVIDIA are competing.
• Synthetic Data Revolution: A look at startups like Parallel Domain, Bifrost, and Sky Engine AI.
• The Rendering Stack of Reality: The grand challenge of creating simulations that scale from a single object to an entire city.
