The report highlighted that immediate and coordinated international action, supported by the UN, was essential to prevent AGI from becoming a menace.

Sundar Pichai suggests that it will be highly challenging to achieve the coveted AGI benchmark with current hardware.

Where I see a ton of skepticism is from writers, especially novelists and literary writers, really challenging the idea that AI can replace human writing in any meaningful way. Journalists are writers ...

Google DeepMind discusses many of those risks in its “An Approach to Technical AGI Safety & Security” paper, which outlines its strategy for the responsible development of AGI.

Google DeepMind has published an exploratory paper about all the ways AGI could go wrong and what we need to do to stay safe.
