ET@Davos: Demis Hassabis on China, Apple and AGI

Описание: In this episode of ET@Davos, ET’s Sruthijith KK speaks to Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind and Nobel Laureate 2024, on the future of AI. The chess prodigy-turned scientist-turned-AI pioneer explains how DeepMind balances frontier research with a billion-user scale. Hassabis says Google’s Apple partnership followed direct model comparisons where Gemini prevailed; China is now only months behind the West but lacks frontier breakthroughs; and AGI could arrive within a decade, triggering “post-scarcity” abundance. He defends AI’s energy demands, citing AI-designed fusion and grid optimisation. From Transformers to AlphaFold, Hassabis argues Google pioneered modern AI but moved too slowly. His bottom line: within 5–10 years, machines will be doing original science. The stakes couldn’t be higher.
