A new documentary The Thinking Game looks at the extraordinary life of Demis Hassabis, a visionary scientist whose pioneering work goes someway towards unraveling the mysteries and frightening capabilities of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Acting as his own producer and DoP Greg Kohs has cobbled together rare archival footage and interviews to bring us a relatable look into the future.
Hassabis founded DeepMind, one of the world’s leading AI labs. Inside the organisation’s London headquarters, he leads a team exploring the groundbreaking phenomenon of AGI, unpacking its abilities to go beyond our human capabilities to solve and create like never before.
Five years in the making, the film allows us, the audience, to discover DeepMind’s pioneering work including AlphaFold, a programme that focuses on the field of biology. Compelling and watchable The Thinking Game will have particular appeal to scientists and anyone curious about this scary thing called AGI. @MeredithTayor
