About this talk

For Google DeepMind Co-Founder and CEO Demis Hassabis, the fusion of technology and art is a lifelong pursuit. It began in the early ‘90s while he was designing best-selling simulation games like Theme Park and continues today at Google DeepMind, where the team is building AI tools to empower artistic expression – while pushing the boundaries of AI. In this fireside chat, Demis will discuss Google DeepMind’s collaborations with artists across film, games and music, and how these partnerships are steering AI towards supporting authentic storytelling. Hear the leader of one of the world’s frontier AI labs talk about his vision for how AI can help to build a future that respects, empowers and expands human creative expression.
