Summary
Yann LeCun predicts that within 12-18 months, a general method for training hierarchical world models will emerge, learning from video and real-world data to aid planning in robotics, healthcare, and beyond, scaling toward a universal world model.

Yann LeCun says that within a year to 18 months, we’ll have a general method for training hierarchical world models
These models would learn from video and real-world data, then help plan actions in robotics, healthcare, and other areas
