I had a chance to sit down with Demis Hassabis to discuss his goal of solving intelligence and using it to help cure all disease.
But what I found most compelling wasn't the scale of the mission, but
@demishassabis himself.
His level of focus is extraordinary.
We talked about the personal cost of pursuing a mission this ambitious, and the tension between the two sides of his work: the CEO of a commercial entity and the scientist driven by a humanitarian vision.
It was an absolutely fascinating conversation, and a deep honor to speak with one of the most important minds of our time.
Thank you to the
@GoogleDeepMind team for having me.
