DeepMind's Hassabis sees humanity "in the foothills of the singularity" while LeCun says current AI isn't intelligent

AI leaders gave sharply different takes on how close today’s systems are to true intelligence and AGI.

Yann LeCun said current LLMs are not intelligent because they can’t solve novel problems without prior training.

Demis Hassabis said humanity may be nearing the singularity and AGI could arrive within five years.

Oriol Vinyals struck a middle ground, saying models are strong at coding and math but still lack learning from experience and real breakthroughs.
