Top Google executives have just confirmed what many people are worried about, that is, artificial general intelligence (AGI) is closer than we think.
Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, told 60 minutes AI can reach human intelligence in just 5 to 10 years. This means that machines can think, reason and understand the world like humans by 2035.
“We will have a system that truly understands everything around us in a very nuanced and profound way.” Hassabis explain.

In a separate interview timeHassabis said the world was not prepared for what was about to happen.

“Agi is coming…I’m not sure if society is ready for it.” – CEO Demmis Hassabis and co-founder Google Deep state
He stressed the urgent need for international cooperation between governments, companies and laboratories to ensure AGI is safe and controllable.
DeepMind’s own research marks AGI as potential There is a threat. A recent paper warns that if misbehaves, Agi could “destroy humans forever.”
A strong commitment
Despite the risks, Hasabis says Aji can Innovate health. Speech Economic timesHe said AI could become “The End of Disease” In the next decade.
“I think AI is very likely to be the end of the disease,” Hassabis said, “Breakthroughs in protein folding and drug discovery.”
AGI is different from today’s AI. It’s not just smarter software; software that can be done Anything People can. Think at digital speeds to creativity, logic, intuition.
Hassabis’s solution
He called for the establishment of an international AGI research center in the CERN style, as well as supervisory agencies like the IAEA to monitor and control development.
The competition in AGI is accelerating. People who lead the race say we are not ready yet, but the stakes won’t be higher from ending the disease to risking human extinction.
