The people I've seen like this had machine learning PHDs and lots of publications, while some of the most productive had no such pedigree. I'd be careful judging based on "technical credentials".
- random314 5y agoThis is not an engineering organization. Deepmind is a research organization led by PhD Hassabis who is the obvious intellectual force behind the organization. All the pioneers of AI from Hinton to Goodfellow have PhDs in AI with a strong publication record. Core AI research is simply not an area where college dropouts like Suleyman can drive research. He is a non technical "manager" riding Hassabis coattails. If Hassabis can get work done without bullying, who is this dude? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demis_Hassabis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demis_Hassabis
- jmeister 5y agoI have to admire your arrogance. You know better than Hassabis about Suleyman’s value? You want to judge the founders of the top AI group in the universe? I am at loss for words. FYI: Keynes is considered to be the most influential economist of the 20th century, and he had about a year’s worth of training in economics.
