DeepMind?
- kleiba 6y agoAlphabet is not a university.
- quonn 6y agoAlphabet bought it. But it‘s a direct result of university research with the same people. Just check the field of reinforcement learning.

- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThe first place Facebook opened an AI research centre was Paris. They certainly didn't pick it for the food ;) I think if you look at where the researchers are, Europe does really well. As per usual though, this is poorly commercialised.

- disgruntledphd2 6y agoLet's be clear. They set up the office in Paris because Yann LeCunn had really good colleagues and students there. This would seem to militate against a notion that Europe doesn't do AI. Now, Europe definitely doesn't commercialise AI well, but that's a different point.
