CEO, Google DeepMind · 10 quotes · latest Jul 23, 2025
- And actually, I would be really worried for humanity given the other challenges that we have, climate, aging, resources, all of that if I didn’t know something like AI was coming down the line.
- And I was expecting this because more and more people are finally realizing, leaders of companies, what I’ve always known for 30 plus years now, which is that AGI is the most important technology probably that’s ever going to be invented.
- And it sort of fits with the way I think about physics in general, which is that I think information is primary, information is the most sort of fundamental unit of the universe, more fundamental than energy and matter.
- And we’re probably close, and again in the next five years to having AI systems that can materially help with those problems.
- I think there probably needs to be 10 times more effort of that than there is now as we are getting closer and closer to the AGI line.
- I think there’ll be new jobs we can’t even imagine today, just like the internet created.
- In terms of your question of large models, I think we’ve got to push scaling as hard as we can and that’s what we’re doing here.
- So I wouldn’t be surprised if we had AGI-like systems within the next decade.
- So my betting would be that the final AGI system will have these large multimodal models as part of the overall solution, but they probably won’t be enough on their own.
- The better your world model is, the more efficient your search can be.
