Born in England in 1976, Hassabis was once known as a child chess prodigy, ranking second in the world in the under-14 division. He went on to study neuroscience and AI at university, and in 2010 founded DeepMind, an AI development startup. In 2014, DeepMind was acquired by Google for over $500 million (approximately 50 billion yen at the time).
'The Thinking Game' is a documentary film about DeepMind and Hassabis, and the entire film is available for free on YouTube at the time of writing. A two-minute official trailer is also available.

'My life's goal is to figure out AGI. I think this is a very important moment for all of humanity. There is no time to waste,' Hassabis said.
Hassabis became interested in AI through games. He was once called a chess prodigy and was ranked second in the world for his age group.
'I was the second-highest-rated chess player in the world at the time, so I was always thinking about 'thinking,'' Hassabis said.
He says he studied neuroscience because he wanted to explore the edges of space.
Hassabis and his colleagues at DeepMind pursued an idea that most people had never even thought of: beating top-level Go players in a game like Go, which was thought to be incomputable by computers.

But Hassabis's ultimate goal wasn't to create a powerful gaming AI, but to solve real-world problems.
Hassabis focused on the issue of
'I realized that AI was necessary for drug discovery,' says Hassabis.
The development of an AI that can solve the protein folding problem is proving difficult, and the team members are struggling.
However, one day, AI development suddenly took a major step forward.
'We suddenly did this and I thought, this could be something amazing,' she said.
'This is really cool,' Hassabis said.
This AI, which surprised many people involved, was named '
'There's a lot to figure out, but I'm not going to give up until I get there,' Hassabis said.
The video then goes back to when Hassabis was a chess prodigy. When the interviewer asks, 'What do you like about this game?', the young Hassabis responds, 'It's just a good thinking game.'
