Yann LeCun

Chief AI Scientist; Turing Award laureate · Meta

Shared the 2018 Turing Award with Hinton and Bengio. Consistently argues that existential-risk framing is misplaced, that current autoregressive models are a dead end for human-level intelligence, and that steerability is an engineering problem.

Stated numbers

Each point is a number this person gave, on the date they gave it. Nothing on this chart is machine-generated. A hollow point means the entry is flagged unverified: it is a placeholder standing in for a position stated in words rather than a figure the person actually put a number on.

Date	Probability	Question asked	Source	Verification
2023-10-01	0%	Probability that AI causes human extinction	Repeated public statements on social media and in interviews, 2023 to 2025	unverified
	LeCun has not given a formal number. He has repeatedly described the risk as negligible and the framing as unscientific. The value here is a placeholder for 'asserted negligible' and is flagged accordingly rather than presented as his figure.
