Recorded at the Royal Academy of Arts on 17 September 2018:
Demis Hassabis, Co-Founder and CEO of DeepMind, draws upon his eclectic experiences as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) researcher, neuroscientist and videogame designer to discuss the implications of cutting-edge AI research for creativity and scientific discovery.
DeepMind is the world leader in AI research and develops programs to help tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Since its founding in London in 2010, DeepMind has published over 170 peer-reviewed papers, five of them in the scientific journal Nature - an unprecedented achievement for a computer science lab. In 2014, DeepMind was acquired by Google in their largest ever European acquisition, and is now part of Alphabet.
Demis Hassabis is a former child chess prodigy who, following graduation from Cambridge University, founded the pioneering video games company Elixir Studios, producing award-winning games for global publishers such Vivendi Universal. After a decade of experience leading successful technology startups, Hassabis returned to academia to complete a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at University College London, followed by postdocs at MIT and Harvard, before founding DeepMind. The journal Science listed his neuroscience research connecting memory with imagination as one of 2007’s top ten scientific breakthroughs. Demis is also a five-time World Games Champion, recipient of the Royal Society’s Mullard Award, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Academy of Engineering, winning the Academy’s Silver Medal. In 2016, Demis received WIRED magazine’s Leadership in Innovation Award and in 2017 he was named in the Time 100 list of the world’s most influential people. In 2018, Demis was awarded a CBE for services to science and technology, elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society and also awarded an honorary doctorate by Imperial College London.
The talk is followed by a conversation and Q&A with the RA’s Artistic Director, Tim Marlow.
This Rothschild Foundation Lecture is the first in a series of annual lectures generously supported by the Rothschild Foundation.

This is perhaps one of the most important topics of the century, and yet this video only has a few thousand views.

Focus on creating a simulated reality to train artificial intelligence in. Simulated bodies and terrains. Train it to cope with all environments and all body shapes. Like each leg joint could have a weight or pressure. Maybe you need to work with rockstar games to make a nice small training environment for a.I. You should be able to change terrain settings, senarios, body shapes. That would be faster than Boston Dynamics.

The audio is not so smooth.

Demis Hassabis qualifies for a clutch of Nobel Prizes on the basis of this lecture alone. See and hear a genius who is Hippocrates, Da Vinci, Einstein and humanity itself, rolled into one.

Glad to see Demis articulate the idea of accelerating scientific discovery. I've been pushing this for a while. I use the example of the gap between Hero's aeolipile [Hero of Alexandria ~ 50 AD], and the steam engine invention [Newcomen~1712]. at least 1600 year gap. World could have been millennia ahead by now. Time to take on the task accelerating discovery and kick it up a notch!

Thank you ! Demis is the Albert Einstein of our century.

This is really cutting edge in terms of human knowledge. His implementation of a system that can imagine a scene and then move around that scene is close to what is needed to model imagination. I feel that it needs to move one step forward. Not just creating a static scene(probably constrained by the use of a neural network), but rather to create a simulation of a scene. And then actioning things in that scene, that would be real (AI) imagination - real artificial creativity.

Thank you for sharing, where can i download the PPT?

Does AI have to learn the concept of dimension and space? As humans do we intrinsically have this understanding because we ourselves are dimensional? (if that makes sense)

Excited to see RL applied in optimization problems in the coming future. Go DeepMind!

Definitively you should bring Demis Hassabis for a series of lectures, not only this topic is very interesting but he explained everything really well given the complexity of this field.
