Professor Yann LeCun is one of the world's leading scientists who will participate in the panel discussion "Deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Practice" taking place on December 4th in Hanoi. This is the third discussion session in the "Science for Life" series of panel discussions, part of the VinFuture 2024 Science and Technology Week.
He is currently the Vice President and Chief AI Officer at Meta, and also a professor at New York University, USA.
Yann LeCun (born in 1960 in Paris, France) is one of the pioneers in the field of deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNN). This French scientist developed the LeNet model in the 1990s, the first CNN model used for handwriting recognition.

CNNs have become a crucial tool in the field of computer vision and image processing, forming the foundation of many products and services deployed by companies such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Baidu, IBM, NEC, and AT&T for video , document, image, and speech recognition.
He also proposed the Deep Q-Network (DQN) model in 2013. This is a method that uses deep learning to train AI systems to play video games.
Professor LeCun has published over 200 papers on this topic, as well as on handwriting recognition, image compression, and specialized hardware for AI.
In 2018, Professor LeCun, along with two other scientists, Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, received the Turing Prize – considered the Nobel Prize in the field of computer science.
"AI can answer any question and help us in our daily lives. One day, AI may become smarter than humans. But we shouldn't be threatened by that; instead, we should feel it's an opportunity to leverage AI for a better life. Imagine having a team of intelligent employees—AI technologies helping you with your work," Professor LeCun explained.

Unlike most researchers in the field, Professor LeCun maintains a very optimistic attitude about the future of AI and its potential. "I believe that organizations and research institutions will maximize the benefits of AI technology for good. We need to continue developing smarter AI, because the smarter AI is, the safer it will be," the professor said.
