DeepMind's Vision of Artificial General Intelligence
DeepMind has always aimed to build an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system, defined as a system capable of performing a wide range of cognitive tasks at a human level. Demis Hassabis, the co-founder of DeepMind, believes that AGI is possible because it can mimic the functions of the human brain, which is computable. While building practical AI systems is essential, Demis argues that striving for AGI as a long-term research goal allows for the development of technologies derived from the journey itself that can be applied to solve significant societal challenges, such as health issues and renewable energy sources.
