Human-level AI Possible in Just a Few Years, Says Google DeepMind CEO

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google's DeepMind, predicts that artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be achievable within a few years due to the incredible progress made in recent years. However, his prediction comes just days after Geoffrey Hinton, widely considered the godfather of AI, quit Google to warn of the dangers of AI development, saying that it is hard to prevent bad actors from using it for bad things. Hinton's fears echo those expressed by more than 1,000 tech leaders earlier this year in a public letter that called for a brief halt to AI development.
