He is a best-selling author, consultant, media pundit, and thought-leader who has spoken at many conferences around the world where he gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and education.
Demis Hassabis is a world-renowned AI expert and entrepreneur who has made significant contributions to the field of artificial intelligence. He is the co-founder and CEO of DeepMind Technologies, an AI research company that was acquired by Google in 2015. Hassabis is widely regarded as one of the leading experts in the field of AI and is known for his work in developing algorithms that can learn to play complex games like chess and Go.
Hassabis was born in London in 1976 to a Greek Cypriot father and a Chinese-Singaporean mother. He showed an early interest in computers and programming and started coding games when he was just 13 years old. Hassabis attended a number of schools in London before studying computer science at University College London (UCL) where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree with first-class honors.
After completing his undergraduate studies, Hassabis went on to pursue a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at UCL. His research focused on using brain imaging techniques to study the neural basis of memory and imagination. During this time, Hassabis published a number of highly-cited papers in leading neuroscience journals.
After completing his PhD in 2009, Hassabis decided to focus on his passion for artificial intelligence. He co-founded a company called Elixir Studios, which developed a number of popular video games including Evil Genius and Republic: The Revolution. However, he eventually left the company to pursue his interest in AI research.
In 2010, Hassabis co-founded DeepMind Technologies with Mustafa Suleyman and Shane Legg. The company’s mission was to “solve intelligence” by building algorithms that could learn from raw data and make decisions in a way that was similar to the human brain. DeepMind quickly became one of the most successful AI research companies in the world and attracted the attention of Google.
In 2015, Google acquired DeepMind for a reported $400 million, making it one of the largest acquisitions of an AI company at the time. Hassabis became the CEO of DeepMind and continued to lead the company’s research efforts.
Under Hassabis’s leadership, DeepMind made significant breakthroughs in the field of AI. In 2016, DeepMind’s AlphaGo program defeated the world champion at the ancient Chinese game of Go, a game that was considered to be the most complex board game ever devised. The victory was seen as a major milestone in the development of AI and showcased the power of machine learning algorithms.
Hassabis has been recognized with numerous awards for his work in AI. In 2014, he was awarded the Royal Society Mullard Award, which recognizes outstanding research in the field of physics and engineering. In 2015, he was named as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world. He has also been awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the British Computer Society and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Cambridge.
In addition to his work at DeepMind, Hassabis is also a keen advocate for the responsible development of AI. He has called for greater transparency and accountability in the use of AI and has spoken out against the use of AI for military purposes.
Demis Hassabis is a true pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence. His work at DeepMind has led to significant breakthroughs in machine learning and has paved the way for the development of more advanced AI systems. His passion for AI research and commitment to responsible development have earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and have helped to shape the future of this rapidly-evolving field.
