DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis told The Financial Times that the amount of investments brought to the technology has also attracted “some grifting and other hyped-up areas” like crypto.
“Some of that has now spilled over into AI, which I think is a bit unfortunate. And it clouds the science and the research, which is phenomenal. In a way, AI’s not hyped enough but in some senses it’s too hyped. We’re talking about all sorts of things that are just not real.”
