Google DeepMind Predicts AGI in 5-10 Years

Google DeepMind is optimistic about achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) within the next five to ten years, with no significant technical barriers remaining. CEO Demis Hassabis emphasizes that current neural networks will continue to be the main development approach. To address potential risks, the company focuses on preventing misuse by humans and mitigating AI misalignment. One solution being developed is MONA, a system for explainable planning. After analyzing technical challenges such as energy, hardware, and processing limits, DeepMind concludes that scaling up to human-level AI is both technically feasible and economically viable.
