The first AI model based on Yann LeCun’s vision for more human-like AI

Meta Platforms announced on Tuesday that it would allow researchers access to components of a new "human-like" artificial intelligence (AI) creation model that allegedly can analyze and complete unfinished images more accurately than existing models.
The company's AI team further stated that it is introducing the Image Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (I-JEPA), the first AI model based on the vision of its Chief Scientist Yann LeCun to develop a new architecture to help machines learn faster, plan how to fulfill complex tasks and easily adapt to unfamiliar situations.
The introduction of I-JEPA is a landmark in the development of AI, revealing the potential of self-supervised learning architectures to overcome key limitations of state-of-the-art systems. Hopefully, this approach will prove to be extendable to other domains, including video understanding and image-text paired data.
Though a lot of people are looking forward to the disruptive impact of AI on society, it's undeniable that scammers and other malevolent actors are willing to exploit AI tools — including apparently harmless image generators — for unscrupulous purposes. Government regulators and cybersecurity experts must find a way to address such threats while protecting innovation and the digital freedoms of ordinary people.
There's a 4% chance that human brain emulation will be the first successful route to human-level digital intelligence, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
