Leg over

 " . . . to speak of AI, let alone AGI, was considered by many a sign of fatal unseriousness. Hassabis, Legg and Suleyman were undeterred. Their ambition, as they liked to say, was to “solve intelligence, and then solve everything else”.

For the DeepMind founders, it was clear that such an achievement would have widespread consequences. In 1999, when Legg was fresh out of university, he estimated that AGI would arrive somewhere between 2025 and 2028, a prediction he maintained in the face of much mockery for three decades. In his dissertation, completed in 2008, he insisted that society could not afford to wait until AGI was technically feasible to consider its effects: “We need to be seriously working on these things now.”
