Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis says AI agents for complex tasks coming in 1–2 years

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google Deepmind, expects AI systems in the near future to not only answer questions but also plan and act independently.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Hassabis says his company is working on such “agent-like” systems that could be ready for use in one to two years.

“I’m really excited about the next stage of these large general models. You know, I think the next things we’re going to see perhaps this year, maybe next year, is more agent like behavior,” says Hassabis.

Tweaking the beak: Retracing the bird’s beak to its dinosaur origins, in the laboratory

Posted by in category: futurism

Year 2015 😗😁


New Haven, Conn. — Scientists have successfully replicated the molecular processes that led from dinosaur snouts to the first bird beaks.

Using the fossil record as a guide, a research team led by Yale paleontologist and developmental biologist Bhart-Anjan S. Bhullar and Harvard developmental biologist Arhat Abzhanov conducted the first successful reversion of a bird’s skull features. The scientists replicated ancestral molecular development to transform chicken embryos in a laboratory into specimens with a snout and palate configuration similar to that of small dinosaurs such as Velociraptor and Archaeopteryx.
