Inside the headquarters of DeepMind, founder Demis Hassabis and his team are trying to unravel the mysteries of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Trying to crack a problem that Demis has dedicated his whole career to, they relentlessly pursue the creation of AI that matches or surpasses human abilities. Filmed over five years, The Thinking Game puts viewers in the room for the pivotal moments of this quest, capturing the exhilaration of historic breakthroughs like AlphaFold, the crushing weight of disappointment during setbacks, and the unwavering pursuit of knowledge that defines Demis’ commitment to scientific innovation.

In 2024, Demis won a Nobel Prize and was knighted for services to AI. The Thinking Game traces his journey from child chess star to the forefront of AI development, and invites the audience to witness one of the most important scientific adventures of our time, exploring the potential of AGI to reshape our world.

The screening on Sat 22 March will be followed by a recorded Q&A with Demis Hassabis.
