What is 'artificial jagged intelligence' that Google CEO Sundar Pichai
Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, says today's AI can do some really advanced things—but often fails at basic tasks.
He calls this "jagged intelligence," where AI shines in one area but flops in another.
This inconsistency can imply that AI is less reliable for everyday use and slows down progress toward truly general intelligence.
The phrase "artificial jagged intelligence" (AJI) was first used by Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Hassabis suggests we need tougher tests to understand AI's strengths
On the "Google for Developers" podcast, Hassabis explained that it shouldn't be so easy for people to spot obvious flaws in AI.
He believes we need tougher tests to really understand where AI is strong and where it falls short—especially if we want to build smarter, more trustworthy systems.
