Demis Hassabis is the founder and head of Google DeepMind and a Nobel laureate. Recent coverage focused on his shortened AGI forecast of two to three years, down from three to five, and his warning at a Dublin summit that testing incidents are "early warning shots," with a call to test new models in offline sandboxes first. He also commented on the Gemini 4 Argon release, the AMIE clinical study in The Lancet, Isomorphic Labs joining the Virtual Biology Initiative, and open-sourcing SynthID Bio protein watermarking.

What Is AGI? OpenAI's Brockman Says GPT-6 Astra May Already Be There

The Conversation examines the debate over defining artificial general intelligence. OpenAI president Greg Brockman recently suggested the company's advanced GPT-6 Astra could mark AGI's arrival, saying "for me personally, I do think we're there." OpenAI defines AGI as outperforming humans at most economically valuable work, while Demis Hassabis argues it must handle virtually any cognitive task and Yann LeCun says the term is flawed and favors "human-level AI."

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed a three-step plan to slow AI development, including third-party evaluators in labs, domestic industry coordination, and international agreements. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, and Elon Musk publicly agreed on aspects. Labs were already hinting at some kind of joint effort.
