The CEO of Alphabet-owned AI research lab, DeepMind Technologies, spoke about the potential of artificial intelligence in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” which aired on Sunday.
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told CBS that he thinks that AI might one day become self-aware.
“Philosophers haven’t really settled on a definition of consciousness yet but if we mean self-awareness, and these kinds of things … I think there’s a possibility that AI one day could be,” he said.
It’s available on phones and now watches? That’s actually nice though I hope they make it battery efficient. The Pixel watch for example already has issues with battery life. I’m the future will there be a small AI server in our bodies in microchips or a network of nanobots?
ChatGPT is all the rage these days, but did you know you can get it on your watch? Here’s how to install it on a Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, and other Wear OS watches.
It is an unsettling moment. Critics argue the rush to AI comes too fast — while competitive pressure— among giants like Google and start-ups you’ve never heard of, is propelling humanity into the future ready or not.
Sundar Pichai: But I think if take a 10-year outlook, it is so clear to me, we will have some form of very capable intelligence that can do amazing things. And we need to adapt as a society for it.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai told us society must quickly adapt with regulations for AI in the economy, laws to punish abuse, and treaties among nations to make AI safe for the world.

Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) have designed a system that makes an off-the-shelf quadruped robot nimble enough to walk a narrow balance beam—a feat that is likely the first of its kind.
“This experiment was huge,” said Zachary Manchester, an assistant professor in the RI and head of the Robotic Exploration Lab. “I don’t think anyone has ever successfully done balance beam walking with a robot before.”
To the team’s knowledge, this is the first instance of a quadruped successfully walking on a narrow balance beam. Their paper, “Enhanced Balance for Legged Robots Using Reaction Wheels,” was accepted to the 2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation. The annual conference will be held May 29–June 2, in London.
Make a template based on a 1980s virtual reality game, create 25 AI characters, give them personalities and histories, equip them with memory, and throw in some ChatGPT—and what do you get?
A pretty impressive representation of a functioning society with compelling, believable human interactions.
That’s the conclusion of six computer scientists from Stanford University and Google Research who designed a Sims-like environment to observe the daily routines of inhabitants of an AI-generated virtual town.
