New Delhi, April 19 -- Former Meta AI Chief Scientist Yann Lecun has criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for his remarks that AI will lead to reduction in 50% of all tech jobs. Lecun noted that AI lab CEOs inlcuding himself, OpenAI chief Sam Altman, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton (widely regarded as Godfather of AI) are not the right experts on how the technology will affect jobs and economy.

Instead, Lecun noted that the economists can be a better judge of how AI will affect the job market.

"Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this"
