Six prominent figures in artificial intelligence—Yann LeCun, Fei-Fei Li, Jensen Huang, Geoffrey Hinton, Bill Dally, and Yoshua Bengio—recently convened for a rare discussion on the future of AI. The event, organized by MetaEra, was prompted by their joint receipt of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. During the conversation, the experts shared their personal 'aha' moments in AI development, debated whether the current AI surge represents a true revolution or a speculative bubble, and discussed the potential timeline and feasibility of achieving human-level AI.
