An AI@GSB Special: Demis Hassabis Thinks We’re in the ‘Foothills of the Singularity’

Hassabis expects AGI around 2030 and says frontier labs are locked in a dangerous, prisoner's-dilemma-style race needing fast, adaptive regulation.

• AGI timeline: Hassabis pegs artificial general intelligence at roughly 2030, plus or minus a year, calling it a few years away.
• Singularity framing: He says we're in the foothills of the Singularity, describing the coming era as 10x the Industrial Revolution's impact compressed into a decade instead of a century.
