The Data Science Institute invites you to a free screening of The Thinking Game on December 5, 2024, 6:30-8:30pm at the Union South Marquee Cinema. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
The Thinking Game recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to a packed house. It tells the story of DeepMind’s founder Demis Hassabis and his team as they pursue the creation of AI that matches or surpasses human abilities across a wide range of tasks. The documentary captures the groundbreaking achievement of AlphaFold, a program that solved a 50-year grand challenge in biology. Hassabis, David Baker, and John Jumper received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing the AI model that can predict protein structures.
