That must read article from, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis
-
“AGI, a system that exhibits all the cognitive capabilities the brain has, is probably only a few short years away…I think we will realise we were standing in the foothills of the singularity - nothing less than the dawning of a new age for humanity.”
-
“The magnitude of this technology’s impact will be unprecedented, perhaps 10x of the Industrial Revolution at 10x the speed.”
-
“Nobody in the world knows for sure what is going to happen from here, and even the experts disagree.”
-
“a slowdown in development among the Frontier Labs if deemed necessary.”
Frontier models could require approval before deployment—and development could be slowed
