In this course
Suleyman co-founded DeepMind, one of the most influential AI research labs whose mission to "solve intelligence" has shaped how contemporary ML systems are developed and justified. The readings invoke DeepMind's founding and its billionaire backing (Musk, Thiel) as emblematic of how AI research became entangled with venture capital and tech oligarchy, raising questions about who controls AI development and toward what ends. His subsequent move to Microsoft AI positions him as a key figure in the consolidation of AI expertise within corporate infrastructure, central to understanding how AI governance and capability research are now channeled through for-profit entities rather than open research communities.
