The Thinking Game
AI is the one topic that no one seems to be able to hide from these days. Demis Hassabis, a former child chess prodigy, has been on the AI frontier for years, co-founding DeepMind, a research lab racing towards AGI (artificial general intelligence).
Filmed over five years, The Thinking Game takes us inside DeepMind as Hassabis and his team experience exhilarating breakthroughs like AlphaFold, the protein-folding model that rocked biology, and the tensions behind building a thinking machine. The Thinking Game doesn’t shy away from the big questions, such as what it means to create a mind.
Insightful, fast-paced, and surprisingly funny, it’s the story of humankind’s boldest experiment: creating intelligence itself.
