Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, recently predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) will reach human-level awareness in the next few years. “In the next few years” and “maybe within a decade.”
Hassabis, which started in the industrygame Co-founded Google DeepMind (formerly DeepMind Technologies), a company known for developing AI systems. of AlphaGo which is responsible for defeating the top Go players in the world.
In a recent interview held during The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything festival, Hassabis tell with Interviewer Chris Mims said: He believes that the arrival of machines with human perception is imminent:
“The progress over the past few years has been incredible. And I don’t see any reason why that progress would slow down. I think it might even speed up. So it might take just a few more years. Or maybe another within a decade.”
These comments come just two weeks after an internal restructuring saw Google announce the merger of “Google AI” and “DeepMind” as “Google DeepMind.”
When asked to define “AGI” (artificial general intelligence) — Hassabis replied, “It’s an AI with human-level cognition.”
There is currently no definition, test, or benchmark for AGI widely accepted by the scientific, technology, engineering, and mathematics communities. And there is still no scientific consensus on whether AGI is possible.
Some prominent figures such as Roger Penrose (Stephen Hawking’s longtime research partner) believe AGI is not possible while it isothers It is thought that it may take decades or even centuries for scientists and engineers to figure it out.
Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are among those who believe AGI, or human-level AI, will happen in the near future.
AGI has become a hot topic after the introduction of ChatGPT and many similar AI products and services in recent months. which expertspredict that Human-level AI will disrupt every aspect of life on Earth.
If human-level AI succeeds, it could disrupt different aspects of the crypto industry. In the cryptocurrency world, users come across AI that can act as entrepreneurs, C-level executives, consultants, and a trader with human-level reasoning abilities. and the ability to store data and execute code like a computer system
Hassabis did not speculate on any scenarios, but he told The Wall Street Journal that he “would support the development of this type of AGI technology in a cautious manner using a scientific method. You will have to experiment with careful control. to understand what the underlying system does.”
insiderIndustry leaders like OpenAI’s Altman and DeepMind’s Nando de Freitas say they believe AGI can be spontaneous if developers continue to scale at current levels. And one Google researcher recently parted ways with the company after claiming that a model called LaMDA had already made sense.
