Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind under Google, has revised his forecast for the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) to within two to three years. This is a notable acceleration from his earlier estimate of three to five years made earlier this year.
The updated timeline was reported by The Decoder, highlighting increased confidence in the pace of AI development at DeepMind. AGI refers to a form of AI that can perform any intellectual task that a human can, marking a significant milestone for technology and innovation.
For Japanese markets, where AI-driven automation and advanced technologies are key growth areas, this accelerated timeline could influence investment strategies across FX, equities, and the growing crypto sector, which increasingly integrates AI capabilities.
