AGI Could Be Achieved Within Years, Says Google DeepMind CEO.

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) systems will reach human-level cognition within the next few years to a decade. There is no standardized definition, test, or benchmark for AGI, and there is no unified scientific consensus on whether AGI is even possible. Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are among those who are bullish on AGI in the near term. Thousands of people, including Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, recently signed an open letter asking companies and individuals building related systems to pause development for six months so scientists can assess the potential for harm.
