#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

So you'd want to see those.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

How you test that, I think you just test it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

One way to do it would be a brute force test of tens of thousands of cognitive tasks that we know that humans can do, and maybe also make the system available to

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

a few hundred of the world's top experts, the Terence Towers of each subject area, and see if they can find, you know, give them a month or two and see if they can find an obvious flaw in the system.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And if they can't, then I think you're pretty, you know, you can be pretty confident we have a fully general system.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

This is special.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Exactly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

So I think there's the sort of blanket testing to just make sure you've got the consistency.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

But I think there are the sort of lighthouse moments like the move 37 that I would be looking for.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

So one would be inventing a new conjecture or a new hypothesis about physics like Einstein did.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

So maybe you could even run the back test of that very rigorously, like

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Have a cutoff of knowledge, cutoff of 1900, and then give the system everything that was written up to 1900 and then see if it could come up with special relativity and general relativity, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Like Einstein did.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

That would be an interesting test.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

Another one would be, can it invent a game like Go?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

not just come up with move 37, a new strategy, but can it invent a game that's as deep, as aesthetically beautiful, as elegant as go?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And those are the sorts of things I would be looking out for.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And probably a system being able to do several of those things, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

For it to be very general, not just one domain.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ€“ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games

And so I think that would be the signs, at least that I would be looking for, that we've got a system that's AGI level.
