Google DeepMind CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu on AI capabilities that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is ‘excited’ about: We do not have the recipe to build…

Google DeepMind’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Koray Kavukcuoglu, has revealed how far the company has progressed in achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). In a recent interview with the Financial Times (FT), Kavukcuoglu noted that the company does not yet have a definitive method for this, as the industry still lacks a specific technical formula for creating AGI. Despite the recent launch of Gemini 3, which has led competitors like OpenAI to prioritise internal improvements, Kavukcuoglu emphasised that AGI remains a research goal rather than a finished product. For the unaware, AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is hypothetical AI with human-like abilities to understand, learn, and solve any task, unlike current AI specialised in single tasks.“I think one thing that is really, really important for me is we do not have… the recipe of how to build AGI [because it is still research],” he noted in an interview with the Financial Times (FT).
