Hassabis proposes testing AGI by asking it to discover special relativity
“A good test for it would be something like give one of these modern AI systems, a knowledge cutoff of 19 oh one and see if it can come up with special relativity like Einstein did in 19 oh five, right? If it's able to do that, then I think we're onto something…”

Hassabis predicts AI energy benefits will outweigh consumption within a decade
“I think AI systems will give back a lot more to energy and climate change and these kind of things than they take in terms of efficiency of grid systems and electrical systems, material design, new types of properties, new energy sources. I think AI will help …”

Hassabis: Humanoid form factors are crucial for general robotics in human environments
“On the other hand, for general use or personal use robotics and just interacting with the ordinary world the humanoid form factor could be pretty important because, of course, we've designed the physical world around us to be for humans. And so steps, doorways…”

Hassabis predicts a major breakthrough in general robotics within two years
“I think in the next couple of years, there'll be a sort of real wow moment with robotics, but I think the algorithms need a bit more development. The general purpose models that these robotics models are built on still need to be better and more reliable and b…”

Hassabis: Present-day AI lacks true creativity to formulate new theories
“AI today, I would say doesn't have true creativity in the sense that it can't come up with a new conjecture yet or a new hypothesis. It can maybe prove something that you give it but it's not able to come up with a sort of new idea or new theory itself.”
Sep 12, 2025
Hassabis predicts achieving AGI requires one or two fundamental new breakthroughs
“And so, a lot of these, I think, core capabilities are still missing, and maybe scaling will get us there, but I feel, if I was to bet, I think there are probably one or two missing breakthroughs that are still required and will come over the next five, five o…”

Hassabis dismisses competitor claims of PhD-level AI intelligence as nonsense
“So you often hear some of our competitors talk about you know, these modern systems that we have today are PhD intelligences. I think that's a nonsense. They're not PhD intelligences. They have some capabilities that are PhD level but they're not in general ca…”

Hassabis expects Isomorphic Labs to enter pre-clinical drug phase in 2026
“We're building up the platform right now, and it's, ah, we have great partnerships with Eli Lilly, I think you had, ah, the CEO speaking earlier, and Novartis, which are fantastic, and our own internal drug programs, and I think we'll be entering sort of pre-c…”
