Sir Demis Hassabis vs Sir Demis Hassabis
Gary Marcus highlights a discrepancy in timelines for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) presented by Demis Hassabis. Hassabis, in a recent Stanford talk, suggested AGI could arrive around 2030, a shift from his earlier prediction of 2031-2036 made at Davos. Marcus agrees with Hassabis's more conservative definition of AGI, which includes human-level creativity, scientific theorizing, and physical intelligence, and believes current systems are far from achieving these capabilities.
