History

Historical Context

Alphabet’s 2014 purchase of DeepMind for roughly $400 million built on Google’s earlier large-scale buys such as YouTube (2006) and DoubleClick (2007), marking a shift toward AI research. Founded in 2010 by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman, DeepMind’s reinforcement-learning breakthroughs soon attracted Nvidia’s GPU support, setting the stage for today’s multi-billion AI-infrastructure deals.
