If you have a mental image of a Nobel prizewinner, Demis Hassabis probably doesn\u2019t fit it. Relatively young (he\u2019s 49), mixed race (his father is Greek-Cypriot, his mother Chinese-Singaporean), state-educated, he didn\u2019t exactly look out of place receiving his medal from the king of Sweden in December, amid a sea of grey-haired men, but it was \u201cvery surreal\u201d, he admits. \u201cI\u2019m really bad at enjoying the moment.

Well, maybe not you<\/em>, but certainly him. Hassabis was marked out as exceptional from a young age \u2013 he was a chess prodigy when he was four. Today, arguably, he\u2019s one of the most important people in the world.
