AI brief
Deepmind founder Demis Hassabis now estimates artificial general intelligence could arrive within two to three years, shortening his previous forecast of three to five years. He defines AGI as a system matching the full cognitive range of the human brain and uses the "Einstein test" as a benchmark, asking whether a system trained only on pre-1901 knowledge could reproduce Einstein's 1905 papers.
Why it matters
Hassabis accelerates his AGI timeline and introduces a concrete benchmark, offering readers a timely update on AI progress and the safety considerations discussed in the interview.
