AI that can surpass human intelligence now on horizon: Google's AI head Hassabis

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said artificial general intelligence (AGI), a form of AI that can exceed human intelligence, is "now on the horizon". "When we look back at this time...we will realise that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity," he added. Technological singularity refers to a theoretical point where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible.
