Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said,The current IQ intelligence of artificial intelligence (AI) has not yet reached the level of a cat.
Hassabis attended the Future of Britain 2024 Conference organized by the Institute for Global Change and said in a public discussion with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair:
If AI is measured as a general system, its IQ level is not even higher than that of a cat. However, driven by huge investments in cash and computing, related research is progressing rapidly. Some people predict that in the next five years, AI intelligence can surpass that of humans.
Hassabis said DeepMind's focus is not on artificial intelligence (AI) but on general artificial intelligence (AGI).
The translation of his interview is as follows:
Currently, AI can write, draw, or make music like humans, but its overall intelligence is not as good as that of an ordinary house cat, let alone reaching human level. However, AI is currently stronger and better than humans in some areas such as games.
Hassabis believes that artificial intelligence will subtly change human life and accelerate scientific research in the fields of energy, materials science, healthcare, climate and mathematics.
Khasabis took the opportunity to introduce a project entitled “Project Astra” by DeepMind. The project frees artificial intelligence from simple chat robots (such as ChatGPT or Google Geminis) and provides a better understanding of the user situation, environment, preferences, history, etc。
