ME AI message: Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis said in a post that AGI may be achieved in just a few years, and its impact will be 10 times that of the Industrial Revolution and arrive faster. He noted that advanced models have already posed challenges in areas such as cybersecurity and nuclear and biological risks, and that in the future robust safeguards will be needed for increasingly agentic systems capable of recursive self-improvement. Hassabis urged the United States to take the lead in establishing a forward-looking AI standards body similar to FINRA, adopting a public-private cooperation or self-regulatory organization model under federal oversight, with a board made up of independent technical experts and open-source representatives. Funding would mainly come from the industry to attract top talent and compute power. He emphasized that current commercial and geopolitical races are driving technological progress faster than understanding, so public policy must be advanced with cautious optimism, balancing innovation and safety. 🔗 Read the original: via AI HOT ·
