The Thinking Game | Full documentary | Tribeca Film Festival official selection
Video Overview & Insights
The inside story of the AI breakthrough that won a Nobel Prize.
i hope they found it after 2035.
--
The Thinking Game takes you on a journey into the heart of leading AI lab DeepMind, capturing a team striving to unravel the mysteries of intelligence and life itself.
I am just thinking about the thinking level of demis
Filmed over five years by the award winning team behind AlphaGo, the documentary examines how DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis’s extraordinary beginnings shaped his lifelong pursuit of artificial general intelligence. It chronicles the rigorous process of scientific discovery, documenting how the team moved from mastering complex strategy games to solving the 50-year-old "protein folding problem" with AlphaFold - a breakthrough that would win a Nobel Prize.
Following its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival and a successful international tour, the film is now available here to watch for free.

@MistyDunn-z8gLLMs produced something far closer to the AGI you were supposedly working towards by having a computer play Tetris while collecting a nine-figure payout along the way. Which, by the way, makes your philanthropist tune all the more pathetic given the protein structure algorithm was unlikely to be successfully commercialized as a standalone product anyway. You want to us to believe Google would forego money for your altruism bs? DeepMind has now been integrated into Google AI, and the sum of your collective brainpower is Gemini. That says it all.
@bmr6kLike chatgpt a lot of data insert in our mind to control us . For a specific operation.
@Humaiza-w7eYou've said once, taking all people's knowledge together and include it in AI. Did you also consider the wisdom of spiritual leaders and holy books like the Bagavad Gita and many more? Wouldn't that be REALLY interesting?
@Gudrun-p5uTo Eric Schmidt: It was Soviet Union's Sputnik, not just Russia's.
@AkhanMukhanovDark screen?
@MAdnan-lm5qbDemis will go down in history either as the father of a better future for mankind or the villain of humanity, who brought ruin. Only time will tell. We all pray for the first outcome..
@sammyjankiss287WOW....WOW...WOW.....what a man ! Demis Hassabis , thank you so much !
@luismonteiro4370loved the efforts
@aaradhyaraj951just wow like actually
@aaradhyaraj951This is the kind of video that inspires people to pursue their dreams.
@خالد-عقبة.1Possibly the greatest documentary I have seen so far
@StudioPetromaxHe's worth 3 Billion dollars, yet nearly every comment here is how he eschews money! Wake up folks.
@joeblow9478How you know YouTube views are manipulated!
@BaobabBabble2023😂 whoops too late. No point watching
@LadywatchingByrdThe AlphaGo Documentary is a big inspiration in my journey as a CS major. I cannot wait to watch this after my exams. Thank you DeepMind.
@ColleenDiaz-x6uAI (Artificial Intelligence) is simply computer programming that mimics human thinking. Instead of just following a strict list of rules, AI is designed to learn, recognize patterns, and solve problems like a person would. Its ultimate purpose is to automate tedious tasks which speeds up complex work. Apparently it is for our benefit? Which begs the question: does the greater population of the planet want something that will cancel out their ability to work, to clothe and feed themselves and their families? It's not rocket science. The answer is a big fat NO.
I asked the AI bot what would be the likely fallout from AI restructuring globally and this is the answer and interpretation that it gave:
"The global fallout from AI restructuring is projected to trigger significant labor market polarization, widespread demands for retraining programs, and likely expansions of social safety nets like Universal Basic Income (UBI). Economists warn this transition could also exacerbate global wealth inequality and drive major shifts in educational and corporate policies worldwide."
I asked also asked:..."with jobs lost through AI restructuring, what is the likely response from millions of jobless people?
The answer given was:
- Widespread Social Unrest: When large populations feel the economic system is no longer working for them, the risk of civil unrest rises significantly. Anger may be directed at corporate campuses, technology executives, and policymakers perceived to be failing at wealth redistribution.
- Demands for Universal Basic Income (UBI): Displaced workers and labor unions are increasingly rallying behind the implementation of Universal Basic Income to cushion the loss of jobs. Even some tech leaders and policymakers advocate for government checks to maintain consumer purchasing power and societal stability.
-Political Polarization and Radical Reform: Economic anxiety typically results in a polarized electorate. Millions of jobless people may vote for systemic political changes—such as taxing automation or heavy corporate regulation—to force the redistribution of AI-generated wealth."
At the beginning of this video, a woman spoke to a AI bot while its creator sat at a desk nearby. They sit in a room far removed from the rest of us who have to work and make a living. Is that what one of the Heroes of our Age looks like? Given the mayhem and destruction of jobs, I doubt that he or his fellow AI creators care about the millions of people who will lose their jobs. And please, enough already trying to make him sound like a hero in saying its not about the money. Its about money. Its about power or power of influence
ADDED NOTE; People tar all tech CEOs with the same label but Elon Musk is the exception to the rule imo. He epeatedly tried to warn governments about the existential threats of artificial intelligence since 2014, when he called it humanity’s "biggest existential threat". He even co-founded [OpenAI] to pursue safe, non-profit AI. I do believe he is the only one who is capable of keeping up with those who are pushing AI for the wrong reasons and hopefully will counter anything negative.
Folding proteins?!? Shoot! I can hardly fold my bedsheets... The problem doesn't persist as a result of trying to fold the protein over seven times, does it? I hear you can't fold a piece of paper more than seven times, so... yeah. That's all I can contribute. Fascinating video that lays AI all down in such a simple way, that it made the info easy to digest, even for the most basic layperson, such as myself. Thank you for sharing!
@leonessityAsk an AI when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. 🤣
@psikeyhackr6914Wow what a powerful documentary and so much to glean from it. At 26:15 What a pivotal moment that a small child could see and understand the importance of harnessing our minds for things that really matter and yet the way in which his opponent jumped up and bragged that he beat a child is just indicative of where we are in the AI race. Imagine how different it could have been if they all collaborated together with no desire for one upmanship. But as the bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 Demis with his pure heart receives a Nobel Peace prize and the rest working in silos because of their greed are breaking everything rapidly…just because they can. The whole while musing about how dangerous and disruptive AI will be to human civilization.
@cbyond30:20 feels more like titans running 😹😹
@SolomonAzowenu441 M de vistas en 6 mese¡?
@Philip-Spinoza2:11 Nice to see Demis reading David Deutsch's The Fabric of Reality, one of the most interesting and thought inspiring books I have ever read.
@voidshell6273Learned about a new game today
@milli0006From mastering Atari and beating Lee Sedol at Go, to winning a Nobel Prize for solving protein folding. What an unbelievable 5-year journey to look back on. Demis’s vision from day one has been unmatched
@milli0006Now Solve the Problem of Human Governance … ?
@katewild3738And then Sam Altman came along. Is that going to be Thinking Game 2?
@naratipmathwhy this relentless background music?
@xxy-g7wif AI destroys the world we know who to look for 😂😂😂 jkjk
@LurgeekAs a chess professional I can safely say - Demis, you made the right choice. Thank you for changing the world!
@TriciaRivera-k9iHuge respect to Demis and the whole Deepmind team! Can’t wait to see what these people will achieve for next 30 years.
@kaws2my pleasure x
@debbiegoldson5909I feel that same urge to contribute. So, I did. I just publicly released the first iteration of Unified Geometric Cognition (UGC)—a native Rust, deterministic, and fully auditable classical runtime built specifically for quantum-analog benchmarks and structured reasoning tasks.
@MogirJasonRofickWhat an emotional experience to watch this. Thank you for all you do. All you nerds with good heart.
@kaustubh1969What a superb documentary! A wonderful insight into what it is like at the cutting edge...
@JonathanLevittGMJONThank you Demis and John for this incredible work of yours, as a young man this hits me really hard that I should focus on helping humanity live a better life by using the skills and abilities that I got, but more importantly solving problems for good.
Your work is always cherished and we'll build on top of the great work you've done to make tremendeous impact on the world for GOOD!
Dude imagine if Stephen Hawkin had access to a modern AI voice generator.
@OHOHOHCOMEClaude > Gemini
@shockingbondShe called it a person
@bebopnolaThe team seems to be very meale dominated overall
