Demis Hassabis, Nobel laureate and head of DeepMind, declared that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is nearly within reach and could be achieved in "just a few short years." He stated that the impact of AGI will be "10 times that of the Industrial Revolution" and will unfold "at 10 times the speed," ushering in a "100x-speed era of upheaval." Hassabis proposed establishing an organization similar to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), requiring all "frontier labs" to undergo a "30-day 'pre-release review period'" before launching new models, with authority to coordinate global labs to slow down research in extreme scenarios. He also addressed broader economic and philosophical challenges for a post-scarcity era, including new economic models, values, and the transformation of the human condition.
