AdvertisementDemis Hassabis, the cofounder and CEO of DeepMind, is one of three researchers to be awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry. The pair were recognized for their use of AI to predict protein structures with the DeepMind tool AlphaFold. The other is about fulfilling a 50-year-old dream: predicting protein structures from their amino acid sequences.

Less than four years later, Google acquired it for more than $500 million. AdvertisementWith Hassabis at the helm, the Google DeepMind is at the forefront of Google's AI push. Speaking about Suleyman, Hassabis told the newspaper: "Most of what he has learned about AI comes from working with me over all these years." AdvertisementLondon callingOne of Suleyman's first moves as Microsoft's newly installed AI chief was to launch an AI hub in London, which is also home to Google DeepMind. The move could prove savvy for Microsoft as major tech companies eye up Google's high-quality pool of AI talent.

AdvertisementBefore DeepMind's Demis Hassabis became a leading figure in AI, he was a chess master who had won multiple world championships. Hassabis told Thiel that the best chess players understood the unique strengths of the bishop and the knight, even though both pieces hold the same value. It was not only DeepMind's first significant investment but also one of Thiel's first investments outside the Silicon Valley orbit. He felt the power of Silicon Valley was sort of mythical, that you couldn't create a successful big technology company anywhere else.

DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman has a chilling warning for Google, his former employer: The internet as we know it will fundamentally change and "old school" Search will be gone in a decade. During his final period at Google, Suleyman worked on LaMDA, a large language model. With or without Google, the search experience will evolve to be conversational and interactive, Suleyman said on the No Priors podcast. There will be business AIs, government AIs, nonprofit AIs, political AIs, influencer AIs, brand AIs. Now, that's going to become much more dynamic, and interactive.
