> [[Google]] **DeepMind**, formerly DeepMind Technologies, is an artificial intelligence research laboratory which serves as a subsidiary of [[Google]]. It was originally founded in 2010 in the United Kingdom before being acquired by [[Google]] in 2014, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of [[Google]] parent company Alphabet Inc. after [[Google]]'s corporate restructuring in 2015. The company is based in London, with research centers in Canada, France, and the United States. > > [[Google]] DeepMind has created a neural network that learns how to play video games in a fashion similar to that of humans, as well as a Neural Turing machine, or a neural network that may be able to access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine, resulting in a computer that mimics the short-term memory of the human brain. DeepMind made headlines in 2016 after its AlphaGo program beat a human professional Go player Lee Sedol, a world champion, in a five-game match, which was the subject of a documentary film. A more general program, AlphaZero, beat the most powerful programs playing go, chess and shogi (Japanese chess) after a few days of play against itself using reinforcement learning. In 2020, DeepMind made significant advances in the problem of protein folding with AlphaFold. In July 2022, it was announced that over 200 million predicted protein structures, representing virtually all known proteins, would be released on the AlphaFold database. DeepMind posted a blog post on 28 April 2022 on a single visual language model (VLM) named Flamingo that can accurately describe a picture of something with just a few training images. In July 2022, DeepMind announced the development of DeepNash, a model-free multi-agent reinforcement learning system capable of playing the board game Stratego at the level of a human expert. The company merged with [[Google]] AI's [[Google]] Brain division to become [[Google]] DeepMind in April 2023. > > [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%20DeepMind)
