"Chronicles visionary scientist Demis Hassabis' relentless pursuit to crack artificial general intelligence, a journey of extraordinary perseverance." (IMDb)
"The Thinking Game takes us into the mind and motivation of Demis Hassabis, founder of AI research company DeepMind. From learning Go and StarCraft to solving the decades-long problem of protein folding, this documentary showcases the people genuinely interested in using AI to solve problems, and the amount of work it takes them to get there. At least acknowledging some of the risks of using AI for harmful reasons, and the dangers of overselling or overvaluing its impacts, this is one of the better pieces on AI in recent years."
