From Chatbots to AGI: The 10-Year Path to Human-Like Machines

If you're waiting for AI to match human intelligence anytime soon, think again — AGI is still at least a decade away, says Google DeepMind's CEO.

Google DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis, believes we're still 10 years from reaching Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), despite the leaps in AI seen with chatbots. Hassabis envisions the next stage of AI as agent-based systems that will go beyond answering questions.

However, significant hurdles remain — building AI that can think ahead, remember complex details, and apply reasoning beyond narrow tasks. Hassabis stresses there’s no magic formula for AGI, but agent-based systems are a clear step toward this goal.
