Demis Hassabis on BBC News
Urgent research needed to tackle AI threats, says Google AI boss | BBC News
A concise but largely familiar overview of Hassabis’s standard benefits-versus-risks case. The strongest fresh angle is his practical defense of STEM education alongside a shift toward taste, creativity, and judgment; otherwise, this is skippable for anyone who has heard his longer interviews.
will there come a time when AI will prompt itself? >> Yeah. Well, I think it's still very important to have a STEM education. I would still say Uh like if you know how to code or do math, even though these systems will stop being able to code, you still need to orchestrate them and actually understand what it is they're doing and give them the problem that they need to solve. So, I think the technical if you have a technical background, I think you'll still be at an advantage in using these systems. But, I think the exciting thing is that it's if these systems are able to code, it's going to open up the space for creatives to actually make and build many more things. I'm going to type in to make more quickly. So, I think it'll kind of expand who's able to create. And then maybe the the key thing becomes taste and creativity and judgment. The
Demis Hassabis says AI offers major benefits but also creates risks from harmful actors and increasingly autonomous systems, making urgent safety research necessary. He also discusses education, creativity, and DeepMind's effort to balance ambitious development with responsible deployment.
