Gary Marcus used to call AI stupid—now he calls it dangerous

As a journalist, I appreciate that Gary Marcus always makes time for a chat.

His résumé makes him an unusual, though not unqualified, candidate as a spokes-expert in AI.

But Marcus didn’t stick around at Uber, and he later founded a robotics firm, Robust AI, which he left in 2021.

While pursuing his interests in AI, Marcus presented himself as a skeptic of what was becoming the dominant technology in the field-deep learning neural networks.

LeCun’s responses to Marcus’ jibes at deep learning generally expressed the view that Marcus doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Gary Marcus has a lot of impressive accomplishments on his resume, but his reputation as a conversationalist is currently questionable
