Google Deepmind CEO says he will pay ‘thousands of dollars' to get rid of THIS! Would you do the same?
Artificial intelligence pioneer and Google Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis has said that he would pay 'thousands of dollars' to get rid of his daily emails as he gets too overwhelmed by them. Speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on Monday, June 2, the Nobel laureate said his team at Google Deepmind is working on an AI-powered mechanism that will address this exact issue and take over the tedious task of managing email inboxes. 'I would love to get rid of my email. I would pay thousands of dollars per month to get rid of that,' Hassabis said. The new system will be aimed at helping users managing their email inboxes, sorting through mails automatically and replying to regular messages. The tool will also ensure that the important messages do not go unnoticed. 'The thing I really want – and we're working on – is can we have a next-generation email?,' Hassabis said. He revealed that the new AI tool by Google will not only manage and filter emails but also send replies that match the user's writing style. The tool is currently under development. Demis Hassabis also said on Monday that greater international cooperation around AI regulation was needed but "difficult" to achieve 'in today's geopolitical context'. At a time when AI is being integrated across all industries, its uses have raised major ethical questions, from the spread of misinformation to its impact on employment, or the loss of technological control. Speaking at the SXSW festival on Monday, Hassabis, who has won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on AI, also addressed the challenges that artificial general intelligence (AGI) -- a technology that could match and even surpass human capability -- would bring. "The most important thing is it's got to be some form of international cooperation because the technology is across all borders. It's going to get applied to all countries," Hassabis said. "Many, many countries are involved in researching or building data centres or hosting these technologies. So I think for anything to be meaningful, there has to be some sort of international cooperation or collaboration and unfortunately that's looking quite difficult in today's geopolitical context," he said.

At Paris's AI summit in February, 58 countries -- including China, France, India, the European Union and the African Union Commission -- called for enhanced coordination on AI governance . But the US warned against "excessive regulation", with US Vice President JD Vance saying it could "kill a transformative sector". Alongside the US, the UK refused to sign the summit's appeal for an "open", "inclusive" and "ethical" AI. Hassabis on Monday advocated for the implementation of "smart, adaptable regulation" because "it needs to kind of adapt to where the technology ends up going and what the problems end up being".

Google Deepmind CEO says global AI cooperation 'difficult'
HighlightsDemis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, emphasized the need for greater international cooperation on artificial intelligence regulation, stating that achieving this is challenging in the current geopolitical environment. Hassabis highlighted ethical concerns surrounding artificial intelligence, including misinformation and employment impacts, while advocating for 'smart, adaptable regulation' that evolves with technological advancements. At a recent AI summit in Paris, 58 countries called for enhanced coordination on artificial intelligence governance, but the United States expressed concerns that excessive regulation could hinder the industry's growth.
