Description:

For Google DeepMind co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis, the fusion of technology and art is a lifelong pursuit.

In this fireside chat, Demis will discuss Google DeepMind’s collaborations with artists across film, games, and music, and how these partnerships are steering AI towards authentic storytelling. Hear the leader of one of the world’s frontier AI labs talk about his vision for how AI can help to build a future that respects, empowers and expands human creative expression.
