Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis touted gains in so-called “artificial general intelligence.”
The debut of artificial intelligence systems with capabilities on par with the human brain could be just a few years away, according to the boss of the AI lab Google DeepMind.
Hassabis’ bullish remarks on AI came just days after Dr. Geoffrey Hinton, a renowned computer scientist,so that he could speak more freely about his concerns regarding unrestrained AI development. “The brain is the only example we have of a general intelligence in the universe, as far as we know,” he said.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the pros and cons of a theoretical human-level AI system in aAltman noted its potential benefits include “[elevating] humanity by increasing abundance, turbocharging the global economy, and aiding in the discovery of new scientific knowledge that changes the limits of possibility.
Hassabis was named the CEO of Google DeepMind last month after the company combined its two main AI initiatives, Deepmind and Brain, into one unit.
