Demis Hassabis has tightened his AGI timeline to 2029, making him the most aggressive sitting frontier-lab CEO on record with a public forecast. In an Axios interview, Hassabis named one or two remaining technical breakthroughs DeepMind needs to clear within three years. DeepMind’s Co-Scientist multi-agent system is already live across all 17 DOE national labs, providing the kind of real-world deployment data that likely informed the revised estimate. Open questions Which specific technical breakthroughs Hassabis identified as remaining: the Axios interview did not name them publicly. Whether Co-Scientist’s DOE deployment includes autonomous decision-making capabilities or operates under strict human oversight protocols. How other frontier lab CEOs (Sam Altman, Dario Amodei) will respond publicly to the 2029 anchor, given no comparable on-record forecast exists as of May 2026. source : https://aiweekly.co/alerts/deepmind-ceo-hassabis-moves-agi-deadline-to-2029 submitted by /u/Justgototheeffinmoon
