Progress toward artificial general intelligence is accelerating faster than expected. AI agents that can perform tasks independently are described as a practice run for more powerful future systems. Artificial general intelligence could arrive around 2030, with the possibility of earlier timelines such as 2029 or sooner. Governments, economists, and society at large are warned to be taking these developments too lightly. Increased seriousness and preparation are presented as urgent due to the short time horizon for societal readiness.
"Demis Hassabis believes progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) is moving faster than expected and that society now has only a few years to prepare. He believes AGI could arrive around 2030, though acknowledges it could be here in 2029 - or even sooner."
"Hassabis said that today's AI agents - systems capable of performing tasks independently - should be viewed as a sort of "practice run" for significantly more powerful AI in the future."
"He also warned that governments, economists, and society at large are not taking this development seriously enough."
