Technological progress is advancing toward the realization of AGI, with several AI research institutions commercializing "Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI)" to enhance AI performance. On the other hand, societal challenges such as how to govern AGI, designing systems for its application to society, and monitoring risks of cyberattacks have also been pointed out.
The DeepMind Institute will function as a platform for AI researchers and thinkers to explore and publish ideas. The organization aims to create a framework where not only Google and Google DeepMind, but also a broader international community can participate. Google DeepMind stated that it is extremely important to ensure that the benefits AGI brings to society significantly outweigh the risks.
