Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has reiterated his stance on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) – a hypothetical type of AI with human-level intelligence. Despite claiming “the fastest progress” in the industry with the company’s Gemini 3.0 models, Hassabis stated that true AGI remains 5 to 10 years away and will require one or two additional major breakthroughs. He previously said that there’s a 50% chance of achieving AGI by 2030.
While talking in an interview, Hassabis expressed satisfaction with the development of Gemini 3, which he expects will “pleasantly surprise” the public, noting that the model is “dead on track” with the rapid trajectory DeepMind has maintained since the beginning of the Gemini project.
