DeepMind bigbrain calls for America to set AI standards before it's too late

Industry, regulate thyself
Google DeepMind boss Demis Hassabis is calling for the US to establish a robust frontier AI model review process because, according to him, artificial general intelligence (AGI) “is probably only a few short years away" and we've got to figure it out before it's too late.
That “probably” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in Hassabis’ lengthy, early-morning Tuesday post on X. Like commercially viable fusion power and practical fault-tolerant quantum computing, AGI seems perpetually asymptotic to the present moment, with needed technological advancements always the next step in the process.
No amount of hyperbole - not even a Nobel laureate with skin in the game predicting an impact “perhaps 10x of the Industrial Revolution at 10x the speed” - makes the AGI timetable any more certain. Recall that Hassabis predictedin the beginning of 2025 that human trials of AI-designed drugs...
