"he proposed framework integrates learning from observation (System A) and learning from active behavior (System B) while flexibly switching between these learning modes as a function of internally generated meta-control signals (System M). We discuss how this could be built by taking inspiration on how organisms adapt to real-world, dynamic environments across evolutionary and developmental timescales. "

There's already a model capable of autonomous learning on the small scale, just nobody's tried to scale it up yet: https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.05780

LeCun has been talking about his JEPA models for awhile.

The whole AI field is a misnomer. It stole so much from neurobiology.

However had, there will come a time when AI will really learn. My prediction is that it will come with a different hardware; you already see huge strides here with regards to synthetic biology. While this focuses more on biology still, you'll eventually see a bridging effort; cyborg novels paved the way. Once you have real hardware that can learn, you'll also have real intelligence in AI too.

I remember a joke from few years ago that was showing an "AI" that was "learning" on its "own" which meant periodically starting from scratch with a new training set curated by a large team of researchers themselves relying on huge teams (far away) of annotators.

TL;DR: depends where you defined the boundaries of your "system".

"don't learn" might be a good feature from a business point of view

Imagine if AI learns all your source code and apply them to your competitor /facepalm

claude is learning very fast
