Demis Hassabis
Person
Researcher
DeepMind's founder-CEO — chess prodigy, Nobel laureate, AGI's steady hand.
You're looking at a person record: who they are and the companies, models and ideas they're connected to.
Hassabis founded DeepMind in 2010 to 'solve intelligence, then use it to solve everything else': AlphaGo, AlphaZero and AlphaFold followed, the last earning him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Now leading all of Google's AI, he pairs frontier Gemini releases with a scientist's insistence that true AGI remains 5–10 years out and that science, not chat, is the point.
