On 8 April, the Fundació Grífols UVic-UCC Chair of Bioethics organizes with the Americana Film Fest a morning screening of the film “The Thinking Game” for secondary school students.
This documentary tells the story of Demis Hassabis, the search for artificial intelligence, and its ethical use to improve the lives of people. When Demis was 8 years old, he was one of the best chess players in the world. When he competed, he would think about how, if all the participants combined their remarkable intelligence and worked together, they could accomplish extraordinary feats to enhance people's lives. With this in mind, he abandoned the world of competitive chess and decided to dedicate his life to the development of artificial intelligence that would improve the lives of others.
This is how DeepMind was born, a university initiative and personal project that was later acquired by Google. Among its many milestones, it has revolutionised our understanding of protein folding, provided free tools to scientists worldwide to advance medicine, and protect the environment. This breakthrough in understanding protein folding earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024.
This activity is 100% subsidised.
For students at the Baccalaureate and ESO 4 levels
