Listen up, teens! Google DeepMind’s CEO, Demis Hassabis, says you need to jump into artificial intelligence right now. He’s warning that jobs will change a lot in the next 5 to 10 years, and AI is going to be the big reason why, just like the internet and smartphones changed things for past generations.
Hassabis leads the team creating Google’s smartest AI, including Gemini. They’re even working on AGI, which is AI as smart as humans, and they think it’s coming soon, maybe in less than a decade! 🚀
What about jobs? Hassabis thinks some will go away, but new, cooler ones will take their place. To be ready, you should start mastering AI tools and ideas now. Knowing how AI works will give you a big advantage, no matter what happens.
So, if you’re thinking about college, Hassabis says you should aim to be a tech master 🧑💻. Learn how to learn, that’s super important, he says. Also, get good at science, tech, engineering, math, and especially coding.
But tech isn’t everything. Hassabis also talks about ‘meta skills’. Think creativity, being able to change and adapt, and being tough when things get hard. Machines can do a lot of techy stuff, but humans shine with flexibility and smart thinking.
His last piece of advice? Don’t just stick to classes. Use your free time to mess around with new AI tools and see what’s happening. School gives you the basics, but playing around with new stuff keeps you on the cutting edge. Stay curious! ✨
