The Transformative Potential of AGI — and When It Might Arrive | Shane Legg and Chris Anderson | TED

Dec 8, 2023

As the cofounder of Google DeepMind, Shane Legg is driving one of the greatest transformations in history: the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). He envisions a system with human-like intelligence that would be exponentially smarter than today's AI, with limitless possibilities and applications. In conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Legg explores the evolution of AGI, what the world might look like when it arrives — and how to ensure it's built safely and ethically.

The arrival of AGI | Shane Legg (co-founder of DeepMind)

Dec 11, 2025

Shane Legg, Chief AGI Scientist and co-founder of Google DeepMind, has been talking about artificial general intelligence, or AGI, for more than a decade. So what’s changed? According to Shane, now is the time to take it seriously.

In this episode, Shane walks host Hannah Fry through his AGI framework, breaking down the levels from minimal AGI to full AGI, and his timelines for each. They discuss the economic and societal shifts AGI will bring, the potential impact on work, and the extraordinary possibilities for human flourishing.
