On the December 21st episode of On with Kara Swisher, Kara interviews Yann LeCun, Meta’s Chief AI Scientist and one of the “godfathers of AI,” for a candid discussion about the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence.
LeCun has been a trailblazer in AI since the 1980s, pioneering neural networks that form the backbone of today’s most advanced AI systems. As the 2018 Turing Award recipient and leader of one of the best-funded AI research labs at Meta, his insights carry significant weight in the tech world.
In this episode, recorded live at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg Center, Kara and LeCun discuss the debate over regulating AI, Meta’s current initiatives, and the race toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Known for his outspoken views, LeCun doesn’t shy away from controversy—especially when it comes to the risks and rewards of unmitigated AI research.
This conversation is part of Kara’s live AI interview series, tackling key issues like policy, copyright, and the evolving role of AI in society.
