Yann LeCun calls Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 'deluded' on AI risk

Original: AI ‘godfather’ Yann LeCun: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is ‘deluded,’ ‘crazy,’ and doesn’t understand cybersecurity

Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist and one of the so-called godfathers of artificial intelligence, publicly attacked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, calling him 'deluded' and 'crazy' and saying he does not understand cybersecurity. The remarks sharpen the ongoing split between AI researchers who downplay near-term catastrophic risk and lab leaders like Amodei who warn of it. LeCun has repeatedly dismissed doom-laden AI scenarios as overstated.

Why now: A public clash between two of the most prominent figures in AI over existential risk is drawing wide attention.
