Yann LeCun proposed a new framework redefining artificial general intelligence as Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence (SAI) in March 2026, arguing that conventional AGI definitions miss the mark. The proposal came as LeCun's startup AMI Labs secured $1.03 billion in funding to develop world models—AI systems designed to understand and simulate physical reality. The funding round reflected investor confidence in LeCun's alternative vision for AI advancement beyond large language models, amid broader scientific debate over how to properly define and measure advanced AI capabilities.
