This excerpt focuses on Demis Hassabis, the co-founder and CEO of Google's DeepMind, highlighting his passion for understanding the world through artificial intelligence (AI), particularly his work towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The text describes the rapid progress in AI, illustrated by new multimodal chatbots like Astra that can interpret the world and engage in natural conversation. DeepMind is also developing models like Gemini that are not just understanding but acting in the world, with AGI potentially arriving within the next 5-10 years and expected to revolutionise various aspects of life, including robotics and healthcare, with the potential to cure diseases and achieve "radical abundance". However, Hassabis also expresses concerns about the risks of AI, including misuse by bad actors and the challenges of controlling increasingly autonomous and powerful systems, emphasizing the need for safety measures and international collaboration. Finally, the text touches upon the philosophical implications of AI, including the possibility of self-awareness in machines and the potential for AI to surpass human capabilities in areas like scientific discovery and creativity.
