At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the CEOs of Google DeepMind and Anthropic engaged in a dialogue about the future development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The two leaders disagreed on issues such as the timeline for achieving AGI, AI's impact on employment, and the pace of development. Amodei predicted that AGI would emerge between 2026 and 2027 and would significantly replace entry-level jobs, while Hassabis believed that the probability of achieving AGI by the end of this century is only 50%. Regarding risks and governance, Amodei advocated for slowing down the development pace, whereas Hassabis emphasized the need to establish safety mechanisms amid competition. They reached a consensus on the potential impact of AI but held completely different views on the speed of development.

Elon Musk on January 6th stated: "I'm only worried about the next 3 to 7 years." He predicts that by 2026, AI will surpass humans, and within 3 years, Optimus will outperform top doctors. By 2029, AI will surpass all humans. White-collar jobs will be replaced first, while blue-collar workers will hold out until robot mass production. He praised China's energy infrastructure, saying it outperforms the United States, and warned not to rely on retirement funds. In the future, the only AGI players will be xAI, Google, and China.

Sequoia Capital( Partner David Cahn pointed out in the 2026 AI Trend Outlook report that the market is in a transitional phase where investment sentiment is cooling, but the fundamentals of AI continue to advance. After 2026, AI development will proceed along two parallel paths: one involving delays in data center construction and AGI timelines, and the other with ongoing expansion of AI applications, especially the growth momentum of AI startups, which has not slowed despite market cooling. Investment scale continues to grow, but the reality of AI revenue still shows a gap Cahn stated that before entering 2026, large tech companies still had strong capital expenditure demands for AI. Google and

The article discusses the level of the AI market bubble and estimates the market size using data from ChatGPT. The author projects the C-end market at $33.75 billion, while the seven major tech giants have a combined AI market value of approximately $8.25 trillion, resulting in a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of 244 times. The article points out that AI is currently mainly used as a productivity tool, and the capital market's valuation of it is overly high, which may lead to adjustments. The emergence of AGI in the future could change the current situation, but caution is still necessary.

In the finale of the "AI+SF Summit" held by Axios in San Francisco, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, outlined DeepMind's research directions, technological advancements such as multimodal and world models, and discussed the development of AI agents and related risks. He also assessed the AI competition between the United States and China, and gave a rare estimate of the AGI timeline, believing that there are about 5 to 10 years left before "AI systems with human cognitive capabilities". With the blessing of the Nobel aura, scientist thinking dominates DeepMind At the beginning of the event, host Mike Allen introduced Hassabis as a 5-year-old chess prodigy and a 48-year-old Nobel Prize winner. Hassabis admits that winning the award still feels super unreal, but the actual impact is obvious. because

Approximately 1.7 billion people worldwide lack bank accounts, and the rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and AI agents is redefining financial infrastructure. When software agents are able to plan trips, shop online, and negotiate subscriptions, the next step is to extend autonomy from clicks to checkout. Bitcoin and stablecoins offer 24/7 settlement, low fees, and programmable control, while limitations such as the operating hours of traditional banking systems make them unable to meet the high-frequency and small-value transaction needs of machine economy.

DeepMind's documentary "The Thinking Game" is now available for free, chronicling Demis Hassabis's lifelong pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Hassabis believes that AGI is more significant than the advent of electricity or fire. He warns that AGI is about to be born and will become a watershed moment in human history: "Our next generation will live in an entirely new world, and every moment will matter."

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna pointed out that capital investment in the AI industry is approaching $8 trillion, yet achieving returns is difficult, especially considering that the probability of large language models successfully creating AGI is only 1%. Under this premise, the business model does not support such massive investments. He believes that AI will change corporate structures, and rational investment is needed to reduce risks.

Author: Yuliya, PANews In the field of artificial intelligence, competition between traditional giants and decentralized networks is becoming increasingly intense. On one side are the giants represented by OpenAI and Google, who have built powerful but highly closed "walled gardens," with the future of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) locked in the hands of a few companies. On the other side, decentralized networks like Bittensor wave the banner of openness, yet their application scenarios are difficult for ordinary users to reach, resembling beautiful castles in the air. The world is searching for a new path, one that can break the monopoly of giants and truly bring the powerful capabilities of AI into the real world. Against this backdrop, a project called Sentient has proposed a new attempt. Sentient does not aim to develop a single "super brain," but hopes to create a network composed of multiple specialized agents.

Elon Musk plans for his AI company xAI to challenge the top human teams in League of Legends in 2026 using the latest language model "Grok 5". He aims to establish "fair competition" rules, including limits on visual range and reaction speed, to test AI's learning and reasoning abilities without cheating, thereby advancing the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

In brief Musk said xAI gave Grok 5 a 10% chance of reaching AGI and argued its access to real-time data from X was the firm's main advantage. He said Grok 5 would launch in early 2026 with six trillion parameters and strong video-understanding capabilities needed for AGI. Musk also updated
