Self-consciousness is something else, it's the ability to reflect on the fact that you feel emotion. Once you can feel pleasure, you have consciousness. I define consciousness simply as the ability to have feelings. Yuval Noah Harari : It's possible, but not inevitable. It seems that we are still very far from the possibility of a machine gaining consciousness… If machines can do this, they will have emotions. As humans, if we anticipate that a situation is likely to be dangerous, we feel fear, which motivates us to explore different options to escape the dangerous situation. You need to be able to anticipate what's going to happen–whether an outcome is going to be good or bad– you want the ability to plan, and that's a major cause of emotion. And if they have the ability to plan and set goals, they'll also have the equivalent of feelings, because very often emotions are just an anticipation of outcomes. But there's no question in my mind that we'll have machines at least as intelligent as humans. Yann LeCun : It's very hard to predict how long it's going to take.
It has allowed the director of research in AI at Meta, Turing Award laureate (the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in computer science) and the author of Quand la machine apprend: La révolution des neurones artificiels et de l'apprentissage profond ( Odile Jacob), and the best-seller Sapiens author to compare their views on the promises, dangers and future of AI. The meeting proposed by Le Point has been held via video conference between New York and Jerusalem. Yuval Noah Harari signed the open letter launched by the think tank The Future of Life, alongside nearly 30,000 researchers, calling for a six-month pause in the development of tools more powerful than GPT-4, the language model that accelerated the adoption of ChatGPT in record time, while Yann LeCun saw in this appeal only an outcry from doomsayers. The former sees no reason to panic about the emergence of this discipline, while the latter fears that it will lead to the collapse of our civilization. One is a researcher, the other a historian. On paper, Yann LeCun and Yuval Noah Harari are complete opposites.
