AI is going to change everything, but can we control AI or will AI control us?

In this new episode Steven sits down with AI pioneer and co-founder of DeepMind, Mustafa Suleyman CBE.


In 2010, Mustafa co-founded the British Artificial Intelligence company DeepMind. Four years later DeepMind was bought by Google, and Mustafa became its Head of Applied AI. Later in 2019, Mustafa left DeepMind to work for Google, and in 2022 he left Google to co-found the startup, Inflection AI. The goal of Inflection AI is to use AI in order to help humans speak with computers, and in 2023 they released ‘Pi’, a personal AI chatbot.

In this conversation Mustafa and Steven discuss topics, such as:


  • His strict religious childhood
  • Dropping out of Oxford University
  • Helped to found DeepMind
  • The core goal of DeepMind
  • How intelligence can be defined as information processing and prediction.

  • How AI will develop alongside other technologies such as biotechnology

  • His aim of creating personal AI
  • The chances of AI getting out of control
