Demis Hassabis says AGI could arrive within two to three years

Demis Hassabis, founder of DeepMind, told the Wall Street Journal he now estimates artificial general intelligence (AGI) could arrive within two to three years, shortening a prior three-to-five-year estimate; he defines AGI as matching the full cognitive range of the human brain and uses an "Einstein test" (reproducing Einstein's 1905 papers from pre-1901 training data) as a litmus test. He also said he has been focusing on Isomorphic Labs and proposed an industry-funded oversight board under government control to vet models before release.

Biohub coordinates $1.8B initiative to build AI models that predict cell behavior

Biohub, the nonprofit backed by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, is coordinating a $1.8 billion effort called the Virtual Biology Initiative to assemble data, lab measurements, equipment, and compute for training AI models that predict cell behavior. Major contributors include Meta, Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs (about $300M combined), the U.S. Department of Energy (over $500M for lab measurements and compute), and NIH-coordinated datasets; commercial funders receive one year of exclusive access to the data they pay for, and a first dataset is expected in about a year.

DeepMind, Meta, and Isomorphic Labs invest $300M in Biohub to build 'virtual cell' AI datasets

Google DeepMind, Meta, and AI drug-discovery startup Isomorphic Labs will jointly invest $300 million in Biohub as part of a $1.8 billion initiative to build AI datasets intended to let researchers 'ask, predict, and answer biological questions digitally.' The U.S. Department of Energy plans to contribute more than $500 million over five years, and the NIH will supply datasets and repositories stemming from prior federal investments totaling over $500 million.
