About Google DeepMind
DeepMind was originally founded by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg (who met at UCL) and Mustafa Suleyman in November 2010, where AI models were trained on playing computer games from the 70s and 80s with an aim to create a general-purpose AI that could be useful and effective for almost anything. DeepMind was acquired by Google in early 2014 for between $400m and $650m.
Google DeepMind has been pivotal in the development and integration across all Google products of Gemini, which is Google’s family of large language models, and other generative AI tools, including its suite of text-to-models, including Imagen for images, Veo for videos, and Lyria for music.
Google DeepMind is also developing leading AI models in the fields of robotics, medicine and text-diffusion.
