Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024 for his work on artificial intelligence. He aims to develop a theory of everything and believes there's a 50% chance of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) within the next five years.
Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind, has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His company, now part of Google, made headlines by creating a program that defeated the world's best Go player. Hassabis' goal is to develop a theory of everything. He believes AGI could become a reality within five years. To achieve AGI, a system must be able to learn and accomplish tasks on its own. Hassabis thinks it's possible to build intelligent machines without consciousness, but it may not be possible to separate the two. A new model, o3, has shown promise in abstract reasoning, but Hassabis doesn't consider it a true AGI test.
