Sergey Brin, Google co-founder, and DeepMind's co-founder Demis Hassabis, disagree on Artificial General Intelligence's (AGI) arrival timeline. At a recent Google I/O event, Brin stated AGI would arrive "before 2030," countering Hassabis's speculation that it would occur "just after." While their differing views highlight tension in Google's AGI strategy, both emphasize the importance of "thinking" capabilities in AI systems and continue prioritizing AI system development. The pair's divergence, largely between scientific precision and competitive positioning, offers glimpses into Google's AGI strategy.
