DeepMind co-founder: AI capabilities are exaggerated and long-term potential is not fully recognized
DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis recently said in a podcast that the current capabilities of artificial intelligence are overhyped. However, he also stressed that the long-term potential of this technology, especially in terms of general artificial intelligence (AGI), is still underestimated. Hassabis described the public's attention to artificial intelligence as a double-edged sword. While widespread interest shows that artificial intelligence will play a positive role in daily life, this attention also brings a lot of noise. For experts like Hassabis who have been deeply involved in the field of artificial intelligence for many years, it is a great pleasure to see the public gradually realize that artificial intelligence... -
