# Demis Hassabis **Domain:** Artificial Intelligence / Scientific Discovery / Cognitive Science **Doc Type:** Person Node **Maturity:** Developing **Related:** [[wiki/Google DeepMind|Google DeepMind]], [[wiki/Mechanistic Intelligence|Mechanistic Intelligence]], [[wiki/Artificial General Intelligence|Artificial General Intelligence]] --- ## Definition **Demis Hassabis** is an artificial-intelligence researcher and entrepreneur who co-founded DeepMind. His work connects general-purpose learning systems, planning, game-playing, and AI-assisted scientific discovery. ## Corpus Context [[articles/Mechanistic Intelligence Is Humanity's Greatest Liberation|Mechanistic Intelligence Is Humanity's Greatest Liberation]] places Hassabis and [[wiki/Google DeepMind|Google DeepMind]] in the article's laboratory lineage because their systems demonstrate that capabilities formerly treated as uniquely human can be decomposed into trainable architectures and objective-driven computation. The article uses those systems as evidence for tractability, not as proof that any present system is conscious. ## Sources / Provenance - [Google DeepMind — about](https://deepmind.google/about/) - [Nobel Prize facts — Demis Hassabis](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2024/hassabis/facts/) ## See Also [[wiki/Google DeepMind|Google DeepMind]] · [[wiki/Mechanistic Intelligence|Mechanistic Intelligence]] · [[wiki/Artificial General Intelligence|Artificial General Intelligence]] · [[wiki/AlphaFold|AlphaFold]] · [[wiki/Reinforcement Learning|Reinforcement Learning]]
