Objective-Driven AI
The concept of objective-driven AI, depicted in figure 1.14, proposed by AI pioneer Yann LeCun, represents a potential pathway towards more sophisticated forms of artificial intelligence, potentially leading to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This approach focuses on designing AI systems that can learn and plan to achieve specific objectives in complex environments, moving beyond mere pattern recognition to incorporate elements of reasoning, planning, and decision-making.
LeCun argues that for AI to reach the level of general intelligence, it must have the ability to learn models of the world that allow it to predict and manipulate its environment. This would involve not just responding to inputs based on learned data but actively seeking information and learning causality, thus developing a more profound, actionable understanding of its surroundings.
