- Hassabis said Google would invest more over time than the $100 billion Microsoft and OpenAI plan for Stargate.
- He cited AGI’s need for extensive computing power and Google’s possession of the most computers as one partnership reason.
- He called safe AGI architectures a human bottleneck before systems with mathematical or practical guarantees could emerge.
- He assigned responsibility to AI labs, governments, civil society and academia, while envisioning radical abundance if successful.
If we get this right, we could be in this incredible new era of radical abundance, curing all diseases, spreading consciousness to the stars, and maximum human flourishing.— Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, during a talk at the TED 40th anniversary conference in Vancouver, Canada.
