Google acquired DeepMind 2 years ago (for a reported $400 million).
DeepMind began as an independent company at least 2 years before. One
of the founders wrote Theme Park in the 1990s with an innovative park
visitor AI. DeepMind itself first developed a generalized game AI to
play Atari 2600 games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbsqaJwpu6A
