>In 2010, Hassabis co-founded DeepMind,[30][31] a London-based machine learning AI startup, with Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman. Hassabis and Suleyman had been friends since childhood, and he met Legg when both were postdocs at University College London’s Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit.[32] Hassabis also recruited his university friend and Elixir partner David Silver.[33]

DeepMind's mission is to "solve intelligence" and then use intelligence "to solve everything else".[34] More concretely, DeepMind aims to meld insights from neuroscience and machine learning with new developments in computing hardware to unlock increasingly powerful general-purpose learning algorithms that will work towards the creation of an artificial general intelligence (AGI).
