What’s next for AI at DeepMind, Google’s artificial intelligence lab | 60 Minutes

This 60 Minutes interview features Demis Hassabis discussing DeepMind's rapid progress towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He highlights their AI companion Astra, capable of real-time interaction, and their model Gemini, which is learning to act in the world. Hassabis predicts AGI, with human-level versatility, could arrive within the next 5 to 10 years, potentially revolutionizing fields like robotics and drug development.

The conversation also touches on the exciting possibilities of AI leading to radical abundance and solving major global challenges. However, it doesn't shy away from addressing the potential risks of advanced AI, including misuse and the critical need for robust safety measures and ethical considerations as we approach this transformative technology.
