Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence: LeCun's New Buzzword Challenges AGI

In this episode, Luba Gloukhova and Eric Siegel unpack the new paper, "AI Must Embrace Specialization via Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence," by Yann LeCun and others.

The paper endeavors to "address what’s wrong with our conception of AGI, and why, even in its most coherent formulation, it is a flawed concept to describe the future of AI."

That aligns so well with our episode just two days ago that one of the paper's authors, Philippe Wyder, tweeted us about the paper, bringing it to our attention!

The paper presents the new term "Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence," which is defined as "intelligence that can learn to exceed humans at anything important that we can do, and that can fill in the skill gaps where humans are incapable."
