Demis Hassabis

Demis Hassabis, Nobel laureate and Google DeepMind founder, told the Wall Street Journal that AGI could arrive within two to three years, down from his earlier estimate of three to five. He defines AGI as a system matching the full cognitive range of the human brain.

Google DeepMind's new head Koray Kavukcuoglu says Gemini 4 is in early post-training and could ship well before year-end, following the quiet cancellation of Gemini 3.5 Pro. He downplayed the AGI question that defined predecessor Demis Hassabis's tenure, calling it 'not the right conversation.'
