This premium episode is a documentary-style video about the history and importance of Alphabet subsidiary, DeepMind. Demis Hassabis, the founder, was a chess prodigy by the time he was 13 years old. He went on to conclude he wanted to "solve intelligence" by building artificial intelligence agents and using digital tools. The team at DeepMind has created systems that defeated the world's best chess and Go professionals. They've also cracked the code on the infamous 'protein-folding problem.' Demis Hassabis and DeepMind are fascinating. Moreover, they're still just getting started.
