About Google AI & DeepMind

Google has been an "AI-first" company since 2016, leading fundamental research that underpins the entire modern generative AI wave—including the invention of the Transformer architecture in 2017. In 2023, Google consolidated its two primary AI research divisions, Google Brain and DeepMind, into a single unit called Google DeepMind, headed by Demis Hassabis.

Google's current AI strategy revolves around its native multimodal model family, Gemini, which is deeply integrated across its billions-of-users consumer ecosystems like Android, Google Search (SGE/AI Overviews), Chrome, and Google Workspace. Google is also a pioneer in open-source AI with the Gemma model family, and AI-native hardware with its custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).
