This is one of the interviews that comes as a bonus in Andrew Ng's courses from the Deep Learning specialization. In this interview his guest is Yann LeCun, chief commander of the AI branch at Facebook.
Some other interviewees of Ng are Geoff Hinton (known for work on CNNs), Yoshua Bengio, Ian Goodfellow, Andrej Karpathy, and other big names in the field.
Here, Lecun discusses his introduction to the field (circa '80s), the figures and resources which provided inspiration and motivation to get into AI, and progresses into the research and the work he's done in the field. For an AI geek, this is a must watch (or must view).
