Fireside Chat with Yann LeCun, Executive Chairman of AMI Labs | RAISE Summit 2026
Yann LeCun, Tom Mackenzie, Chet Haase, Francois Beaufort, Romain Guyett
Yann LeCun founded AMI Labs to develop JEPA-based World Models that overcome the physical reasoning limitations of current Large Language Models by predicting abstract states rather than discrete tokens. This strategic departure from Meta, driven by incompatible visions for Artificial General Intelligence and business focus, positions the Paris-based entity to lead global industrial applications like Level 5 autonomy and domestic robotics. To ensure geopolitical neutrality and preserve data sovereignty, LeCun is also spearheading Project Tapestry, a distributed initiative aggregating parameters from diverse international contributors without requiring raw data sharing.
The Ultimate AI Roundtable: What Happens Now in AI, Why Google are Vulnerable | E1085
Des Traynor, Yann LeCun, Emad Mostaque, Jeff Seibert, Tomasz Tunguz, Douwe Kiela, Cris Valenzuela, Richard Socher, Harry Stebbings, Myles Grimshaw, Christian Lang
A diverse panel of AI industry leaders predicts a market consolidation around five to six dominant providers while debating the trajectory from proprietary scale to commoditized, open-source efficiency. Experts contrast conflicting views on model defensibility, with some arguing that data quality and iteration speed matter more than parameter counts, while others maintain that massive size remains essential for handling complex tasks. The discussion further outlines a structural shift in value accrual from cloud infrastructure to differentiated applications, forecasting a pivot in business models toward outcome-based pricing and predicting existential challenges for search incumbents like Google alongside opportunities for hardware-integrated strategies from Apple.
