Major corporations including <strong>Toyota, Nvidia, and Samsung<\/strong> joined the round, alongside prominent technology figures such as <strong>former Google CEO Eric Schmidt<\/strong> and <strong>Amazon founder Jeff Bezos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>French President <strong>Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> praised the announcement on X, calling the project a symbol of \u201cFrance\u2019s researchers, builders and bold innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The startup, headquartered in <strong>Paris<\/strong>, already operates additional offices in <strong>New York, Singapore, and Montreal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>A Radical Vision: AI That Understands the Physical World<\/h2>\n<p>LeCun\u2019s ambition is not to build a better chatbot. Instead, he wants to create <strong>AI systems capable of understanding the physical world itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe objective is to build artificial intelligence that understands the physical world, the real world,\u201d LeCun explained in an interview with AFP.<\/p>\n<p>His approach focuses on creating models that reason from many different types of data rather than relying mainly on language.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to develop AI systems that learn and interpret reality <strong>in a way closer to how animals and humans understand their environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>A Voice Against the Current AI Consensus<\/h2>\n<p>For years, LeCun has been one of the most prominent critics of generative AI systems built around <strong>large language models (LLMs)<\/strong>, the technology behind tools like ChatGPT or Gemini.<\/p>\n<p>According to the French researcher, systems trained primarily on text face fundamental limitations when it comes to understanding how the real world works.<\/p>\n<p>This disagreement eventually pushed him to leave <strong>Meta<\/strong> after twelve years, as the company increasingly focused its strategy on developing large language models.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this strategic divergence, LeCun says he remains on good terms with Meta CEO <strong>Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am clearly in the camp of a paradigm shift,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Building AI Based on \u201cWorld Models\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The research pursued at AMI builds on LeCun\u2019s earlier work at Meta around a new AI architecture known as <strong>JEPA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These systems are part of a broader approach often referred to as <strong>\u201cworld models\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 AI systems designed to model, predict and understand complex real-world processes.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional language models, these systems aim to reason using diverse data sources rather than text alone.<\/p>\n<p>The ambition is to create machines capable of analyzing and predicting complex processes such as the functioning of an <strong>aircraft engine<\/strong>, a <strong>power plant<\/strong>, or even <strong>biological processes in a human organ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>A Roadmap Toward Universal Intelligent Systems<\/h2>\n<p>According to the company\u2019s roadmap, the first year will focus primarily on <strong>research and development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions with industrial partners are expected within <strong>six to twelve months<\/strong>, paving the way for early industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p>Within <strong>three to five years<\/strong>, AMI hopes to develop what LeCun describes as <strong>\u201csomewhat universal intelligent systems\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Such systems could power a wide range of technologies that require machines capable of understanding and interacting with the real world, including <strong>autonomous driving<\/strong> and <strong>robotics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>A Small Team With Global Ambitions<\/h2>\n<p>The company is still at an early stage but is rapidly expanding its team.<\/p>\n<p>According to LeCun, the startup currently expects to reach <strong>between 20 and 30 employees in the near term<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>AMI\u2019s leadership structure includes LeCun as <strong>non-executive chairman<\/strong>, while <strong>Alexandre Lebrun<\/strong>, former executive at the French health startup Nabla, serves as the company\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n<h2>The Ethical Question Behind the Next Generation of AI<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the ambitious technological vision, LeCun stresses that the future use of such systems should not be determined solely by engineers or technology companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are things that we should obviously forbid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the researcher, decisions about how artificial intelligence should be deployed must ultimately be made by <strong>society and democratic institutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As the global AI race accelerates, AMI\u2019s billion-dollar bet represents something rare in today\u2019s landscape: a fundamental attempt to rethink how machines learn, reason, and understand reality.<\/p>\n<p>If LeCun\u2019s approach succeeds, the next major breakthrough in artificial intelligence may not come from more powerful chatbots\u2014but from machines capable of understanding the world itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most of the artificial intelligence industry focuses on improving chatbots and language models, one of the field\u2019s most influential researchers is pursuing a radically different vision.
