DeepMind just published a paper "Reward is enough": Furthermore, we suggest that agents that learn through trial and error experience to maximise reward could learn behaviour that exhibits most if not all of these abilities, and therefore that powerful reinforcement learning agents could constitute a solution to artificial general intelligence.

> DeepMind just published a paper "Reward is enough"

That paper does not mean that DeepMind believes that reward is enough. It is one of their many papers that is seeking to espouse a point a view. It does not mean it is their exclusive point of view.

For example, DeepMind are actively hiring for researchers in open-ended learning (check their website). This is not a new thing for them, e.g. they were quickly on the ball with apprenticeship learning too (https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.06617).
