The Thinking Game

Greg Kohs United States 2024 83 min.

Will making a machine that really thinks ever be possible? Demis Hassabis, the father of Artificial Intelligence, takes you on a fascinating journey where AI is much more than just a handy tool that can do one specific task well. As the founder and CEO of DeepMind, he and his team are on a quest to create AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, a type of general artificial intelligence that not only equals, but also surpasses all human thinking skills. 

Meet Demis Hassabis: he already received a Nobel Prize for Chemistry, but is particularly fascinated by general artificial intelligence. Filmed over 5 years, this documentary follows crucial moments in the development of AGI, a form of AI that goes far beyond the widely known ChatGPT, self-driving cars or AI art generators. A fascinating journey, sometimes with crushing setbacks or disappointments, sometimes historic breakthroughs, such as the groundbreaking AlphaFold, a programme that solved a 50-year-old grand challenge in the field of biology.
