If you're waiting for [AI](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/ai-keynote-speaker/) 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.

These AI agents will plan, act, reason, and use tools, fundamentally changing how we interact with technology. Imagine an AI that not only books your trip but anticipates your needs based on your preferences and acts autonomously in the real world.

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.

Will the gap between today's AI and AGI be closed, or are we overestimating what’s possible in the near term?
