Demis Hassabis and Google's AI Plan

If a graphics card can solve more problems than the human race can authenticate, what’s really the point? If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If I leave Chongqing on the super fast train towards Wulong at 12pm, and my friend leaves Wulong on the super fast train towards chongqing at 1pm, will we see each other on the tracks? Will we wave? Will we even perceive each other, flying by in a blur at 350kpm? All this and much more on this week’s PREMIUM episode!
