ClaimsYann LeCun

“So that, in my opinion, is the blueprint of future data systems, they will think about their answer, plan their answer by optimization before turning it into text, and that is turning complete.”

Prediction AI capabilities

In LeCun's opinion, the blueprint of future AI systems (transcribed as "data systems") is that they will plan their answers by optimization before turning them into text, a process he described as Turing complete (transcribed as "turning complete").

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
