Google Deepmind launches interdisciplinary institute to tackle the big questions around AGI
Google DeepMind launches the DeepMind Institute, an interdisciplinary hub for AGI safety, governance, and risk research.
Google DeepMind has founded the DeepMind Institute (DMI), a platform for interdisciplinary research and debate on artificial general intelligence. Directed by Shane Legg, James Manyika, and Nobel laureate Demis Hassabis, it will bring together technologists, artists, humanists, and policy experts to address AGI safety, governance, and risks such as cyberattacks and loss of control. DeepMind leadership says AGI is close, with Legg suggesting a precursor could arrive by 2028.
