Sebastian Mallaby's book 'The Infinity Machine' explores the rise of DeepMind and its co-founder Demis Hassabis as they pursue Artificial General Intelligence. Hassabis's ambitious goal is to create a machine that can match or surpass humans at virtually all cognitive tasks.
Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of DeepMind, aims to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that can match or surpass humans at virtually all cognitive tasks. Born in north London in 1976, Hassabis was a child prodigy, becoming a chess master by 13 and winning the Mind Sports Olympiad five times. DeepMind was acquired by Google in 2014 for $650 million after a bidding war involving Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Hassabis's pursuit of AGI is driven by his desire to 'penetrate the unseen patterns that govern life'. The book 'The Infinity Machine' by Sebastian Mallaby charts DeepMind's rise and the morality of achieving AGI. Mallaby's narrative highlights Hassabis's exceptional intellect and persuasive charm, which contributed to DeepMind's success.
