Google's Hassabis: Racing for AI could be dangerous

Demis Hassabis, a recent Nobel Prize winner and leader of Google's AI efforts, emphasized the critical need for international collaboration on AI safety norms as the world nears artificial general intelligence (AGI). He highlighted the current lack of cooperation, particularly at the Paris Summit, where major nations declined to endorse a non-binding AI safety communique. Further, he argued that diverse perspectives are vital in AI development to ensure equitable technology deployment, urging involvement from various stakeholders, including governments, academia, and civil society.

"It is too important for it only to be one set of people working on this. It's going to require everybody to come together - hopefully, in time."

"Research advances are better with a big diversity of thinking in your team. That's kind of well proven in science and in research."
