AI that can match humans at any task may arrive in 5 to 10 years: Google DeepMind CEO

Speaking at a briefing at Deepmind's London headquarters, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis suggested that AI that can match humans at any task may arrive in 5-10 years. "Today's [AI] systems...are very passive...but there's still a lot of things they can't do," he stated. "Over...next 5-10 years...a lot of those capabilities will start coming to the fore," he added.
