We are at a pivotal moment in human history, believes Google’s AI boss Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind. In a personal blog, he has once again reiterated that AGI or Artificial General Intelligence (a type of AI that matches or surpasses human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks) is only “a few short years away,” and urgent action is needed to make sure that it’s in favour of humanity. Hassabis, a Nobel winner and one of the foremost names in AI today defined AGI as “a system that exhibits all the cognitive capabilities the brain has,” in his blog. In June, Hassabis had predicted AGI was just 3-4 years away.<\/p>\n

Hassabis has called for a global watchdog led by the US to be constituted urgently, adding that the risks related to AI are not being addressed currently. Instead the focus is skewed towards the global AI arms race both between corporations and nations, he pointed out.<\/p>\n

“Urgent action is needed to address risks that might arise as we get closer to AGI. We’ve already seen the challenges frontier models pose for cybersecurity, and other threats including nuclear and bio risks may soon emerge as capabilities continue to advance.”<\/p>\n

How AI will evolve is something of an unknown both in the scary and exciting territory – this is something most experts including the pioneers of AI largely agree upon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“On the horizon, we will need robust safeguards to maintain control of increasingly agentic, recursively self-improving systems – and tackle unknown issues that will only become clearer over time.”<\/p>\n

The fact that AI is starting to improve itself and could create more capable successors without human intervention has already been pointed out in Anthropic’s research. Anthropic, the Dario Amodei-led AI major behind Claude, constantly warns of the risks of…<\/p>\n
