THE FUTURE IS HERE

Shane Legg (DeepMind Founder) – 2028 AGI, Superhuman Alignment, New Architectures

I had a lot of fun chatting with Shane Legg – Founder & Chief AGI Scientist, Google DeepMind!

We discuss:
– Why he expects AGI around 2028
– How to align superhuman models
– What new architectures needed for AGI
– Has Deepmind sped up capabilities or safety more?
– Why multimodality will be next big landmark
– & much more
