Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, stated that the development speed of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has exceeded expectations, and it is projected to emerge as early as around 2029 to 2030. AGI is capable of learning, reasoning, and creating like humans, solving complex cross-domain problems, and will comprehensively transform work, life, scientific research, and industrial landscapes. Its development is a continuous upgrading process rather than a sudden 'singularity.' Meanwhile, he warned that the world is severely unprepared for AGI. Future AI systems may possess self-optimization and autonomous iteration capabilities, accelerating scientific research while also posing new risks, necessitating the early establishment of rules and protective mechanisms.
