Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes artificial general intelligence is no longer a distant scientific goal but one that will emerge in the near future.
Key facts
- In March, the ARC Prize Foundation released its ARC-AGI-3 benchmark, which tests whether AI systems can learn and adapt in unfamiliar environments
- I think we’ll hit AGI in 2026,” Musk said in December during an interview with the executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, Peter Diamandis
- I think that we're at the inflection point where we have AGI," Eliza Labs founder Shaw Walters previously told Decrypt
- Last year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed OpenAI knows how to build AGI "as we have traditionally understood it" and suggested AI agents could begin joining the workforce
Summary
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said artificial general intelligence could arrive around 2030, "plus or minus a year. Hassabis warned society has limited time to prepare for AGI's economic and social consequences. His comments come as the AI industry remains divided over how close AGI is. Speaking at a Stanford Graduate School of Business event last week, the AI pioneer said he expects AGI, the point at which AI is capable of performing a broad range of intellectual tasks at or beyond human levels, to emerge by the end of the decade.
