The Infinity Machine follows DeepMind and its co-founder Demis Hassabis — chess prodigy, neuroscientist, Nobel laureate — through the journey to solve intelligence. It also provides a gripping account of the dynamics of the broader industry, novel governance challenges, and over a decade of technical breakthroughs behind AI's progress.
Sebastian Mallaby is the Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, he is the author of six books, including More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite and The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future.
