Demis on AGI and Slowing Down Development
vkrakovna · x · 2026-07-14
In the article "A Framework for Frontier AI and the Dawning of a New Age," Demis Hassabis writes that AGI could be just a "few years" away. He considers this a critical moment in human history and mentions that, if necessary, frontier labs could even coordinate to slow down the pace of development.
The post highlights the most controversial yet crucial point of the article: as AGI feels increasingly imminent, should the industry proactively control the pace rather than pushing forward purely on a competitive racing logic.
