Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis
Evan Davis meets the child chess prodigy turned AI leader to discuss the technology's potential and how to ensure it doesn't get misused, or take on a mind of its own.
As the UK gets ready to host a major global summit on the safety of artificial intelligence, Evan Davis speaks to one of the technology's leading global figures.
Demis Hassabis explains how he went from child chess champion to game developer to co-founder of AI research lab DeepMind, which was bought by Google in 2014.
