THE MAN WHO ‘A.G.I.-PILLED' GOOGLE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Demis Hassabis, the chief executive of Google DeepMind, has been dreaming of artificial general intelligence (AGI) for years. He was already taking the possibility of AGI seriously when Google acquired DeepMind in 2014. Today, he is among a growing number of tech leaders racing to build AGI. Hassabis and a colleague received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year for their work on AlphaFold, an AI system capable of predicting the three-dimensional structures of proteins. This article contains a transcript of an interview with Hassabis about his views on AGI and the future that follows its arrival.
