Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has a vision for the future of artificial intelligence that is both ambitious and optimistic. According to him, superintelligent AI won't be a job killer, but rather a catalyst for a "golden era" for humanity. He believes that AI will create new and better jobs, enhance human productivity, and drive innovation in various fields, including healthcare.
Hassabis predicts that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will be developed within the next five to ten years and will have the potential to solve some of humanity's most complex problems, such as curing diseases and finding new energy sources. He also envisions AGI playing a crucial role in enabling humans to colonize the galaxy within the next five years.
The key to harnessing the power of AGI, according to Hassabis, lies in human-AI collaboration. By augmenting human capabilities with AI, we can unlock new possibilities and free humans to focus on high-value tasks that require creativity, empathy, and complex problem-solving. Hassabis' vision for the future of AI is one of radical abundance and "maximum human flourishing," where humans can travel to the stars and explore new frontiers.
