1) This is Jürgen Schmidhuber claiming that ANN-based AI will soon become as intelligent as small animals, then within a decade of that, as intelligent as humans:
But I think that within not so many years we'll be able to build an NN-based AI (an NNAI) that incrementally learns to become as smart as a little animal (...) once we have animal-level AI, a few years or decades later we may have human-level AI, with truly limitless applications (...)

2) Here's a quote from DeepMind claiming their DQN system is a stepping stone towards Artificial General Intelligence:
This work represents the first demonstration of a general-purpose agent that is able to continually adapt its behavior without any human intervention, a major technical step forward in the quest for general AI.
Human-level control through Deep Reinforcement Learning
4) Here's Elon Musk telling NIPS that auto-cars will be significantly better than humans in 2020:
Now at the conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) yesterday, Musk said that they could achieve some level of full self-driving within two years, but that the more important timeline would be 3 years, at which point self-driving capabilities would be significantly better than human drivers.
The quote doesn't mention deep learning, but he was at NIPS talking about deep learning.
Elon Musk updates timeline for a self-driving car, but how does Tesla play into it?
I believe, Eliezer Yudkowski et al Singularitarians have redoubled their efforts to convince everyone that the Singularity is Coming bolstered by the recent successes of Deep Learning- although youwon't find Yudkowski at least trying to make any specific predictions about AGI, or about anything.

3) Here's another example from MIT Press:
“With appropriate uses of the deep learning technologies, we could be a further step closer to the true human intelligence.”
