Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has allegedly stated that the business is developing a "next-generation email" assistant. According to the article, Hassabis made the comment when speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) London event recently. He emphasized the need to replace the current email system with an artificial intelligence (AI) tool capable of responding to messages and making some of the more simple judgments. Aside from this, the Google executive discussed artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Google DeepMind could be working on an AI-powered email solution
According to The Guardian, Hassabis made the statement while discussing how, despite its unparalleled development and promise, artificial intelligence was "overhyped in the short term." Expanding on the notion, he allegedly stated that before the technology could be used in crucial professions such as healthcare or public administration, it should first address another key pain point for most professionals: ever-increasing email backlogs.
The CEO of Google DeepMind allegedly suggested that the business was already working on AI-powered technologies that might change the way consumers use email programs. He referred to it as the "next-generation email," claiming that the tool will recognize the usual emails a user gets and respond to them in their manner. He also claimed to have intimated that this email aide may "make some of the easier decisions."
Hassabis also addressed the issue of AGI. Previously, at Google I/O, he stated that AGI may be reached beyond 2030. He reiterated his estimate, saying it may arrive in five to ten years, which is a relatively short time, according to The Guardian. He stated that when the globe achieves technology, the impact would be equivalent to that of the Industrial Revolution.
Notably, AGI is described as an AI system capable of autonomously performing a wide range of end-to-end activities, making judgments, and taking actions on a par with or beyond that of humans. Highlighting the timescale, he allegedly stated that countries leading the AI race, such as China and the United States, must collaborate to establish common ground on scientific and safety issues, as the technology has the ability to "affect the whole of humanity."
