According to Sequoia Capital’s video series featuring Demis Hassabis, Google DeepMind’s CEO predicts artificial general intelligence (AGI) will arrive by 2030. Hassabis, a 2024 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, views this timeline as a strict business reality that forces leaders to rethink product development, research strategy, and organizational structure. He emphasized that companies must treat aggressive spending and hiring as necessary defensive measures. Hassabis also projected that AI could compress pharmaceutical drug discovery timelines from an average of ten years down to months or weeks, enabling personalized medicine at scale.
