The boss of Google Deepmind, Demis Hassabis, has denied claims by Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, that DeepMind is pushing fears about AI threats to control the narrative on AI regulation. DeepMind is advising the UK government on AI regulation ahead of a summit this week. LeCun accused DeepMind, along with OpenAI and Anthropic, of lobbying to ensure a few tech companies control AI, and said they were giving fuel to critics calling for a ban on highly advanced AI systems. Hassabis disagreed with LeCun's comments, stating that there are three buckets of AI risks to consider: near-term harms, misuse by bad actors, and long-term risks related to artificial general intelligence.
