Giving my keynote at #icml in one hour icml.cc/virtual/2026/i…

Thrilled to announce the Wearable AI Workshop at ECCV 2026 🎉 that we're organizing with an awesome group of folks across Meta Reality Labs, AMI Labs, HKUST, Georgia Tech, UCF, and U. of Edinburgh. If you work on egocentric perception, multimodal assistants, or long-form video understanding, definitely consider participating. Details below 👇 🔬 Wearable AI Workshop @ ECCV 2026 | Malmö, Sweden Join us to advance the science of real-time, multimodal, context-aware assistants — with access to the largest egocentric wearables dataset ever released, $21K in challenge prizes, and a venue to shape the research agenda alongside leading groups in the field. 🏆 Grand Challenge — $21K in Prizes Compete on the largest egocentric wearables dataset ever released (5,000+ hours) across three tracks: Proactive AI — Predict when and how to proactively engage users Multi-Turn Conversations — Streaming answer prediction from egocentric video Long Video Q&A — Temporal grounding and recall over 30+ minute videos 🎤 Confirmed Keynote Speakers Kristen Grauman (UT Austin) — Professor, Computer Vision Group Dima Damen (U of Bristol, Google DeepMind) — Professor of Computer Vision Raffay Hamid (Meta Reality Labs) — Distinguished Engineer, GenAI If you work on egocentric vision, long-form video understanding, conversational AI, or on-device inference — this is your venue. 📅 September 2026 · 📍 Malmö, Sweden 🔗 Workshop URL: wearable-ai-workshop.github.io #Meta #MetaRealityLabs #MetaAI #AMIlabs #HKUST #UTAustin #GeorgiaTech #UniversityOfEdinburgh #UniversityOfBristol #ECCV #ECCV2026 #WearableAI #EgocentricVision #ComputerVision #MultimodalAI #AIResearch

Machines do not have intents. Humans do. Machines do not have feelings. Humans do. Machines do not have psychology. Humans do. Machines can misbehave, but only humans can be evil. Stop virtual signaling and ethics washing and focus on real work on responsible AI, which starts with being responsible humans. #anthropic

Anthropic is trying to anthropomorphize model behavior and fearmonger—but at the same time, profit from it. I admired them at the beginning, but now I am convinced that they are either too stupid to confuse model behavior with human-like intent, or just evil in trying to profit from it. Neither is a good sign of where this company is going.

So excited to have Julia Kempe with us in Paris! @lab_kemp

@KempeLab @amilabs @ylecun So excited to have you Julia!

I am excited to share that I am joining @amilabs as Director of Research, Paris, working with @ylecun and an exceptional founding team. Further progress in machine intelligence will require not only scaling foundation models and large-scale engineering, but also new ideas and breakthroughs. This is what makes AmiLabs such a unique and exciting place to build. Its focus on world modeling — systems that can learn richer representations of the real world, reason, plan, and learn from interaction — is a long-term research direction I am deeply excited about. I am particularly looking forward to working with extraordinary co-founders @sainingxie, @lxbrun, @michaelrabbat, @pascalefung, @mavenlin, @laurentsolly, and the amazingly talented AmiLabs team, to helping build the research organization and to the journey ahead.

@SenSanders The existential risk is sitting right before your eyes in a house made by former slaves. The existential risk is all those who support that. And those who voted for misogyny and racism, not to mention stupidity. There is the very present risk.

The existential risk of artificial intelligence.

Met the goat @ylecun Ty @amilabs for the lovely event~ so many lovely amazing people <3

I will be in Rio. I am looking to talk to former and current colleagues and students interested in working on vison language word models and human-agent interactions in the physical world.

Be still my trekkie heart…

I am hiring researchers and builders for our #Paris team to build advanced machine intelligence that is fundamentally human-centered. amilabs.xyz

Meta’s former chief AI scientist has long argued that human-level AI will come from mastering the physical world, not language. His new startup, AMI, plans to prove it. wired.com/story/yann-lec…

AI pioneer Yann LeCun's new startup has raised $1 billion in initial funding bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I am happy to share that I have joined forces with @ylecun and fellow founders as Co-Founder and Chief Research & Innovation Officer at AMI - Advanced Machine Intelligence. I will lead research initiatives that push AI to be genuinely human-centered - AI that perceives, learns, reasons and acts like we do and in our best interest. I am thankful for the trust placed in us and deeply aware of the responsibility we share to making the world a better place through our work everyday. Join us!

People tend to either overestimate or underestimate the power of LLMs. No, LLMs do not know the world first hand but are second hand learners from linguistic, symbolic and visual descriptions of human knowledge of the world. No, LLMs are not just “parrots” trying to string words together, NGrams are. LLMs can make correlations from the words they trained to predict. When you know these two fundamental characteristics of LLMs you would neither be surprised by hallucinations nor overly impressed or reliant on LLMs for everything. #LLM #llmhallucinations #GenerativeAI #LanguageModel

See our paper on arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2601.10592) -- Action100M: A Large-scale Video Action Dataset by Delong Chen (@Delong0_0), Tejaswi Kasarla (@tkasarla_), Yejin Bang (@yejin_bang), Mustafa Shukor (@MustafaShukor1), Willy Chung (@willyhcchung), Jade Lei Yu, Allen Bolourchi (@AllenBolourchi), Théo Moutakanni (@TheoMoutakanni), and Pascale Fung (@pascalefung). Dataset can be acceesed from this repo: github.com/facebookresear…

We release Action100M, the hero behind VL-JEPA. It is a large dataset with O(100 million) dense action annotations on HowTo100M procedural videos. We hope it serves as a robust data foundation to advance physical world modeling research.
