Hassabis identifies the recipe behind DeepMind's biggest wins and where the next ones will come from. Any candidate problem must have: (1) a massive combinatorial search space too large for brute force, (2) a clear objective function that allows the system to hill-climb, and (3) enough real or synthetic data (from a simulator) to train on. Drug discovery, materials science, and mathematics all fit the same mold—finding the needle in the haystack that physics already permits.
