The Thinking Game | Full documentary | Tribeca Film Festival official selection

Abstract

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.

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.
