Google DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg launched the DeepMind Institute to focus on the responsible deployment of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Legg warned that AI capabilities must not outpace safety and control measures. The institute aims to make technical research accessible and elevate public discourse on AGI.
Legg maintains a long-held forecast of a 50% chance of achieving AGI by 2028. This initiative follows growing industry-wide debate regarding the potential risks of advanced AI.
