Demis Hassabis said this might be the ‘foothills of the singularity.’ What?

Welcome to a “profound moment for humanity,” according to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, who closed out Google I/O’s keynote presentation on Tuesday, saying: > Google’s cutting-edge research and products will help unlock AGI’s incredible potential for the benefit of the entire world.

When we look back at this time, I think we will realize that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity.

> It will be a profound moment for humanity.

This technology will be a force multiplier for human ingenuity and usher in a new golden age of scientific discovery and progress, improving the lives of everyone, everywhere.

We look forward to building the future with all of you.

Thank you, and enjoy the rest of Google I/O.
