> We founded DeepMind in 2010 to create general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) that can learn on its own—and, eventually, be used as a tool to help society solve some of its biggest and most pressing problems, from climate change to disease diagnosis.

This is really interesting to hear and absolutely fantastic news. I've often wondered if we might be able to find better (cheaper, faster, more effective) solutions to global problems like climate change by using AI. It's a thrill to hear that's actually in Google's plans.




They announced some healthcare products last month, though they won't use AI at first. It's safe to say that's part of their plans, however.
