DeepMind co-founder’s leave of absence signals transition

When Mustafa Suleyman co-founded artificial intelligence wunderkind DeepMind in 2010, along with his childhood friend and neuroscientist Demis Hassabis, he was driven by wanting to solve real-world problems. The company, which was acquired by Google in 2014, has always maintained a dual goal: to “solve” or replicate human-level intelligence in machines and use it to fix huge social challenges. “Our toughest social problems are solved by groups of motivated people thinking in novel ways about organising impact at scale by being pragmatic and non-dogmatic,” Mr Suleyman told the Financial Times in a previous interview.
