"Deep learning is an amazing technology and hugely useful in itself, but in my opinion it's definitely not enough to solve AI, [not] by a long shot," [Hassabis] said

"I would regard it as one component, maybe with another dozen or half-a-dozen breakthroughs we're going to need like that.

"There's a lot more innovation that's required." https://www.techrepublic.com/article/google-deepmind-founder...

I presume this is the thing - I don't think he actually said 'dead end'.




To me these quotes don’t support the idea that deep learning is at a dead end. We are only just beginning to get it to really work for real world problems and I think that will take off a lot in the coming years.

Even if all you care about is general AI, there is still a lot of progress that needs to be made within DL.

I think the point is just that we should be open to other approaches because they will be needed as well


Correct, that's what I was referring to. Apologies if I mischaracterized his stance.
