Why AMI Labs’ Alexandre LeBrun won’t call his AI ‘AGI’ or ‘superintelligence’

TechCrunch AI · 41 minutes ago

Alexandre LeBrun, CEO of AMI Labs, rejects industry terminology like 'AGI' and 'superintelligence' as poorly defined and unhelpful for describing his work on world models. AMI Labs raised $1.03 billion in March at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation but has no product yet and is scouting partnerships in South Korea for access to real-world robotics and manufacturing environments. The startup aims to build AI systems that understand physical environments and enable safer, context-aware robots for applications where LLMs alone are insufficient.
