DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis

The Disrupters

Available for over a year

Rohan and Kamal talk to artificial intelligence expert, neuroscientist and entrepreneur Demis Hassabis. A former chess child prodigy, Demis is chief executive of DeepMind, the artificial intelligence business bought by Google for £400m only three years after it had started. But previously Demis had another company, which had failed. In this podcast he talks about lessons learnt from that experience, the dangers of being over idealistic, burnout and knowing when to cut your losses.
