Google DeepMind CEO may have just agreed with his former co-founder and now Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman on ‘AI matching human intelligence’

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis predicts that artificial general intelligence (AGI) capable of matching or exceeding human capabilities could emerge within the next five to ten years, signaling a profound shift in the AI landscape.”I think over the next five to 10 years, a lot of those capabilities will start coming to the fore and we’ll start moving towards what we call artificial general intelligence,” Hassabis said during a briefing at DeepMind’s London headquarters.

The DeepMind chief’s forecast contrasts with more aggressive timelines from other industry leaders. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, two contrasting personalities, share the same prediction of AGI arriving in just 2-3 years.
