Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind, warns that the surge of funding into artificial intelligence (AI) is creating hype that obscures scientific progress. He criticizes the billions being invested in generative AI start-ups, suggesting it leads to exaggeration and potential deception. Despite this, Hassabis remains convinced of AI's transformative potential, citing DeepMind's AlphaFold model as proof of how AI can accelerate scientific research. He also discusses the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), suggesting it could be achieved within the next decade. DeepMind is exploring ways to improve the reliability of large language models, including a new methodology called SAFE.
