You can now watch a Google DeepMind doc for free

Google is making The Thinking Game, a 2024 Tribeca Festival selection about DeepMind, available for free. The nearly 90-minute documentary offers a glimpse into the AI team’s background and breakthroughs.

The film, from the same team as the 2017 AlphaGo doc (also on YouTube), was shot over five years. It chronicles Nobel winner Demis Hassabis’ beginnings as a chess prodigy and how that shaped his entry into AI. You’ll see DeepMind’s journey from building AI that (slowly) learned Pong to one that accurately predicted how proteins fold.
