British researcher and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, a luminary of AI research who won a Nobel prize last year, is throwing cold water on his peers’ claim that AI has achieved “PhD-level” intelligence. Hassabis said that current AI “doesn’t have the reasoning capabilities” of “great” human scientists who can “spot some pattern from another subject area” and apply it to another. While Hassabis’ jab was directly aimed at Google DeepMind’s competitor OpenAI, it’s clear that the CEO’s own company is in a similar boat. Iterations of its Gemini AI still frequently expose Google Search users to made-up facts and other demonstrably false information. More on OpenAI: OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake
