@twominutepapers @demishassabis Great to see someone asking such great questions and letting Demis speak without interrupting! P.S. Love the pillow! 🐕

I can't believe it, but the interview with the incredible @demishassabis is now available! Full video link in 🧵

@ns123abc Embarrassing.

LMFAOOO Elon cooked the “Ph.D at 19” clown 💀😭

Yesterday at the Stanford GSB, a unique meeting brought together Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Stephen Curry, alongside academic leaders.

"We are in the foothills of the singularity," says Demis Hassabis at Stanford University in conversation with President Jon Levin. He also said: "The benefits need to broadly accrue to everyone."

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis acknowledges that AI is a "double-edged sword" that will disrupt jobs while creating new opportunities. He believes the outcome depends on human choice rather than the technology itself. "The future's not written... it's for us collectively to decide how we want economies to change." "I think actually maybe the humanities are going to be more important than ever because of charting out what should happen in the next era for humanity." He also suggests that society may need a "new great philosophy" to prepare for these transformations. credit: ABC News YouTube

@haider1 Demis has been consistent about 2030. He mentioned in quite a few interviews that when they started, they viewed the challenge of "solving intelligence" as a generational or 20-year endeavor. They're on track 🔥

i've never seen google's top minds this optimistic about AGI demis hassabis at google i/o: "AGI is just a few years away -- and when we look back at this time, we'll realize we were standing at the foothills of the singularity" deepmind scientist oriol vinyals: "AGI isn't here the way i want, but it's fairly close"

@rpnickson @demishassabis @luciekerley @dimplevjk Can't wait!!

It was an incredible honor (surreal!) to chat with @demishassabis today. I left the conversation deeply inspired and hopeful for the future. Thank you to @luciekerley, @dimplevjk and team for the opportunity and for the wonderful experience at I/O.

Google Korea just dropped this fireside chat! 🔥 Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis reflects on the decade since the historic AlphaGo match and discusses the transformative potential of artificial intelligence. youtube.com/watch?v=XgZyIi…

Demis react on stage at Google I/O on the singular moment when him and the Alpha Fold team made that one decision that changed everything and led to the Nobel Prize.

Demis Hassabis reaccionando en directo al momentazo del documental The Thinking Game cuando toman la decisión de usar AlphaFold para liberar todas las estructuras de las proteínas conocidas. Piel de gallina ❤️

In a recent interview with ABC (will air Friday, May 22), Demis Hassabis was asked about all the recent backlash against AI, booing at graduations. He said the people, the builders behind AI need to show more humility. That's what he's trying to do here. They also, he said, need to show more of the benefits of what AI can do. For example, curing cancer, making the world a much better place for most of us.

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google’s DeepMind Technologies, sat down with ABC News’ Rebecca Jarvis to discuss how AI could reshape the creative arts. “I think actually maybe the humanities are going to be more important than ever because of charting out what should happen in the next era for humanity.”

The Demis Hassabis HUGE* Conversation (in full) 00:00 What is the hardest problem AI has already solved? 12:30 What is the cutting edge of drug discovery with AI? 21:53 Why did Demis say he “would have left AI in the lab longer”? 43:09 How should militaries use AI? 50:13 What can humans do that AI won't? 58:17 What does Demis Hassabis want his legacy to be? (And 1:04:40 Can I beat Demis at Jenga?) Recorded March 5, 2026 in London.

@cleoabram Hands down the best interview with Demis in 2026.

Demis Hassabis, CEO & Co-founder of Google DeepMind, is taking the stage as the keynote speaker at “Shaping the Next Digital Frontier” in Cyprus! 🧠 📅 17–18 June 2026

It's interesting that Demis Hassabis closed #GoogleIO with a philosophical claim that "we're in the foothills of the singularity", just months after saying we're "nowhere near that."
