The article features an interview with Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, discussing the rapid advances in artificial intelligence and predicting that artificial general intelligence—computers with human-level cognitive abilities—could arrive within five to ten years. Hassabis highlights DeepMind’s achievements, such as predicting the structures of millions of proteins and developing AI systems like Astra, capable of perceiving and interacting with the world. While Hassabis cautions that current AI lacks true self-awareness and imaginative abilities, he believes AI could dramatically accelerate scientific discovery, cure diseases faster, and even eliminate scarcity. However, he stresses the urgent need for safety limits and international coordination to address risks posed by autonomous and powerful AI systems, ensuring morals and values are built into the technology.
