AI is hurtling toward a "transformative" moment in human history, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said at Axios' AI+ SF summit Thursday.
The big picture: Hassabis predicted earlier this year that AI meeting or exceeding human capabilities — in other words, artificial general intelligence, or AGI — could come by 2030.
What they're saying: In an interview with Axios' Mike Allen, Hassabis said his Nobel Prize win helped open doors to audiences that would listen more seriously to his message.
- "AGI, probably the most transformative moment in human history, is on the horizon," Hassabis said.
What to watch: Hassabis said one major frontier over the next 12 months would be "world models," which model the physical world to predict how it works.
