Bloomberg: How is your assessment of the risks changed? Worst case scenario. Best case scenario?

Hassabis: Well, there’s two main things that I worry about and one is how do we make sure we enable the good actors to use these incredible technologies for the benefit of the world, but also restrict access to would be harmful, you know, bad actors doing harm, repurposing those same technologies for harm. So that’s a huge conundrum for the industry to try and solve. The second thing is as our systems become more powerful, not today’s ones, but in a year or two or three years time, as we start getting agent based systems that are able to accomplish tasks on their own that we set them, you know, addressing the kind of what’s sometimes called AGI risk, risk inherent in these systems, making sure they’re controllable, they’re understandable, they’re verifiable and all of that. In my opinion, the key part of that is international cooperation. We’ve got to do that as a whole, as an international community with academics, civil society and industry and government all together. And that’s what I think summits like this are for. — Demis Hassabis
