DeepMind is best known for its breakthroughs in machine learning and deep learning that have resulted in highly publicised events in which neural networks combined with algorithms have mastered computer games, beaten chess grandmasters and caused Lee Sedol, the world champion of Go – widely agreed to be the most complex game man has created – to declare: “From the beginning of the game, there was not a moment in time when I thought that I was winning.”

For Demis Hassabis,Shane Legg, and Mustafa Suleyman, the proof points offered by gameplay will define the next ten years: namely, to use data and machine learning to solve some of the hardest problems in science. Read More
