Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis on why AI can win Maths Olympiad but fails to solve basic problems of High School Maths
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has said that inconsistency in artificial intelligence (AI) is a major reason why AI can perform exceptionally well in some areas but still fail at simpler tasks. Speaking on the “Google for Developers” podcast, Hassabis said that advanced AI models like Google’s Gemini can win gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad but often struggle to solve basic high school maths problems.
“The lack of consistency in AI is a major barrier to achieving AGI,” he said, referring to Artificial General Intelligence — the stage where AI can reason like humans.
