Alphabet Inc.\u00a0(NASDAQ:<\/a>GOOGL<\/a>)\u00a0(NASDAQ:<\/a>GOOG<\/a>)\u00a0subsidiary\u00a0Google\u00a0DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said artificial intelligence could trigger a “new golden era of discovery” within the next decade, transforming medicine, energy and even space exploration.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, speaking on the Fortune 500: Titans and Disruptors of Industry podcast, Hassabis said humanity is entering a period of “radical abundance” driven by AI.<\/p>\n

“In 10, 15 years’ time, we’ll be in a kind of new golden era of discovery that [is] a kind of new renaissance,” he said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted AI’s potential to revolutionize medicine, predicting personalized treatments and cures for major diseases.<\/p>\n

Hassabis acknowledged the challenges ahead, calling the coming decade a “classic innovator’s dilemma” for Google.<\/p>\n

“If we don’t disrupt ourselves, someone else will,” he said.<\/p>\n

This philosophy guided the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, creating a unified research powerhouse to train advanced AI models like Gemini and Nano Banana.<\/p>\n

Hassabis also pointed to DeepMind’s AlphaFold, which solved the decades-old protein folding problem, as proof of AI’s scientific capabilities.<\/p>\n

He is now applying the technology at Isomorphic Labs to accelerate drug discovery, aiming to make the process “1,000 times more efficient” and advance preclinical cancer trials.<\/p>\n

Trending:\u00a0Blue-chip art has historically outpaced the S&P 500 since 1995, and fractional investing is now opening this institutional asset class to everyday investors.<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier, Hassabis said AI was beginning to affect hiring, particularly in internships and entry-level roles, though there was no evidence of widespread job losses.<\/p>\n

He noted companies were slowing junior hiring as AI automated routine tasks, but broader labor data did not show mass displacement.<\/p>\n

Hassabis urged students to master AI tools, arguing that hands-on technical skills could matter more than traditional internships in an AI-driven job market.<\/p>\n

He also warned that heavy investment in early-stage AI startups<\/a> with little revenue suggested parts of the market could be in a bubble, while maintaining that AI remained overhyped in the short term but undervalued over the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alphabet Inc.\u00a0(NASDAQ:GOOGL)\u00a0(NASDAQ:GOOG)\u00a0subsidiary\u00a0Google\u00a0DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said artificial intelligence could trigger a “new golden era of discovery” within the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10021,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2150,25,5044,7718,132,8552,7543,6421,8553],"class_list":{"0":"post-10020","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-google","8":"tag-ai-revolution","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-deepmind","11":"tag-demis-hassabis","12":"tag-google","13":"tag-google-brain","14":"tag-google-deepmind","15":"tag-space-exploration","16":"tag-transforming-medicine"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10020\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
