AI BriefingDeepMind CEO Moves Up AGI Timeline to 2029
Key point
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has announced a shortened prediction for when AGI will be reached, now expecting it by 2029.
Details
Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, has moved up his prediction for reaching AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) to 2029. This is the most aggressive forecast among CEOs of major frontier AI labs currently active.
In an interview with Axios, Hassabis mentioned that there are one or two key technical breakthroughs that still need to be solved within the next three years. This prediction appears to reflect the fact that DeepMind's multi-agent system, Co-Scientist, has already been deployed across 17 national laboratories under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is accumulating real-world data.
However, it has not yet been made clear exactly what technical breakthroughs Hassabis was referring to, or whether Co-Scientist operates under human supervision or possesses autonomous decision-making capabilities.
