Sebastian Mallaby on Demis Hassabis and the making of DeepMind
Episode 117
Saturday, 1 August, 2026
Demis Hassabis, the founder of Google's DeepMind, is an AI pioneer we know little about. He has largely stayed away from the public eye. In The Infinity Machine, journalist and biographer Sebastian Mallaby draws on more than three years of unprecedented access to Hassabis and his team to tell the story of the scientist behind one of the world's most influential AI companies. In this conversation, Mallaby explains what drives Hassabis's lifelong pursuit of artificial general intelligence, why scientific curiosity, not commercial ambition, lies at the heart of his work and how DeepMind's breakthroughs, from AlphaFold to Gemini, have shaped the global AI race.
