The Times of India
Google AI CEO Demis Hassabis stated that AI success in Maths Olympiads doesn't signify general intelligence due to current system limitations.

Summary

Speaking at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Google AI CEO Demis Hassabis downplayed the significance of AI models like Gemini and ChatGPT achieving high scores in the International Maths Olympiad. He argued that while these systems show reasoning ability, they still exhibit 'jaggedness,' making mistakes on elementary math problems when posed differently, which a true general intelligence system would not do. Hassabis highlighted critical missing capabilities in current AI, including continual learning (the ability to learn after deployment), long-term strategic planning spanning years, and consistency across diverse tasks. He suggested the next frontier involves developing AI that can learn continuously and plan coherently. Separately, Hassabis predicted that one of AI's most important future uses will be improving human health, specifically by accelerating drug discovery at companies like Isomorphic Labs, potentially leading to solutions for all diseases over the next 10 to 20 years.
