Comment by Demis Hassabis
Nobel laureate, AI Researcher and CEO of DeepMind
It may be a good thing that [AI development is] not as fast. There's a whole bunch of other things that we need to think through with this technology [...] We don't have a lot of time to sort out before we get to [Artificial General Intelligence].

Source URL on semafor.com returns 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirms the exact quote text from Demis Hassabis's January 21, 2026 Semafor interview "The paradox of AI progress." Author attribution is correct (Hassabis is DeepMind CEO and Nobel laureate). Vote "for" on "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models" is consistent — Hassabis emphasizes that there are "a whole bunch of other things that we need to think through" and "we don't have a lot of time to sort out before we get to [AGI]," supporting deliberate safety processes before deployment.
