I believe your assessment is pretty much on point. I don’t have the extensive background in this topic that many in this group probably have, but the use of neuroscience as an inspiration for AI has, I think, been covered pretty extensively (“How to Create a Mind” by Ray Kurzweil, “On Intelligence” by Jeff Hawkins, and at least chapters 9 and 10 of “AGI Revolution” by Ben Goertzel, to name just a few that I have on-hand). The value of this article by Hassabis, to me from the standpoint of a more limited AI background and knowledgebase, is the high level overview nature of it, including the extensive “references” section which seems to have a pretty good list of sources to look to for reading about various relevant topics.

It's sort of a high level inspirational paper... it does lay down pretty clearly what sort of thinking and approach Deep Mind is likely to be taking in the next years ... there are no big surprises here though as this has been Demis's approach, bias and interest all along, right?
