Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Yann LeCun on AGI and AI Safety, published by Chris Leong on August 6, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Yann recently gave a presentation at MIT on Objective-Driven AI with his specific proposal being based upon a Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture. He claims that his proposal will make AI safe and steerable, so I thought it was worthwhile copying the slides at the end which give an idea of his perspective. You may also find it interesting to read Steven Byrnes comments on this proposal. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.
