THE BIG STORY
Demis Hassabis on the Human Side of AI
WHAT HAPPENED
At the Royal Society of Arts, Sir Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind and Chief Scientist at Alphabet, received the RSA Albert Medal and sat down with Professor Hannah Fry to discuss what the next phase of AI could mean for science, creativity, education, and society. Hassabis argued that AI could be more transformative than previous technological revolutions, but also said society is not yet ready for the speed of change. His central point: technologists can build the tools, but artists, educators, policymakers, and the broader public will need to help decide what those tools should be used for and what humans should continue to value.
THREE TAKEAWAYS
1
AI could dramatically accelerate science, medicine, and creative work, but its long-term value will depend on how intentionally society chooses to use it.
2
Hassabis sees AI as a creative collaborator that can help people prototype faster, explore more ideas, and take on projects that were previously too expensive or difficult.
3
Education may need a major redesign, with AI handling more personalized instruction while classrooms focus more on creativity, collaboration, and project-based learning.
TWO QUICK HITS
What else is moving
What a Developmental Psychologist Says About AI’s “Survival Instinct”
Some AI systems have resisted shutdown during controlled tests, but a developmental psychologist argues that this should not automatically be interpreted as a survival instinct. The behavior may simply reflect models trying to finish an assigned task, rather than any deeper drive to keep themselves alive.
Apple Tests Its Long-Awaited Siri AI Redesign Before the iPhone 18 Release
Apple has released iOS 27 with beta access to its redesigned Siri AI assistant ahead of the iPhone 18 launch. The new Siri can use personal context from texts, emails, and calendars, hold more conversational exchanges, and tap cloud-based AI for more complex requests.
