DeepMind
Country: UK
DeepMind was acquired by Google as a leading ML startup and now acts as its mostly independent AI division. Its initial goal was to create strong artificial intelligence, which the developers hoped to achieve through the ability to play games (Atari, Go, chess, Dota) and control physical robots. DeepMind gradually took over all of Google's AI projects, including the LLM model and the Gemini chatbot. DeepMind was one of the first to develop multimodal intelligence, including language, code, images, video and 3D world generation. Furthermore, the startup continues projects of creating specialized machine learning systems for various industries, including medicine (drug development) and energy (energy optimization for Google's data centers).
