‘The Game is Over’: Google’s DeepMind says it is on verge of achieving
human-level AI
Anthony Cuthbertson   17 May 2022

Human-level artificial intelligence is close to finally being
achieved, according to a lead researcher at Google’s DeepMind AI
division.
Dr Nando de Freitas said “the game is over” in the decades-long quest
to realise artificial general intelligence (AGI) after DeepMind
unveiled an AI system capable of completing a wide range of complex
tasks, from stacking blocks to writing poetry.
Described as a “generalist agent”, DeepMind’s new Gato AI needs to
just be scaled up in order to create an AI capable of rivalling human
intelligence, Dr de Freitas said.
