| 2017 || October 4 || Team || DeepMind launches DeepMind Ethics & Society (DMES), a new research group recruiting advisers from academia and charity sector with the purpose to ‘help technologists put ethics into practice’ and help coping with artificial intelligence to consider the “real-world impacts” of replicating human intelligence. The group consists of six independent research fellows, eight full-time researchers, and nine partnerships with other research institutions. It would explore topics such as algorithmic bias, accountability, and autonomous killing machines.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gershgorn |first1=Dave |title=DeepMind now has two ethics groups, but one of them is still secret |url=https://qz.com/1094283/alphabets-goog-deepmind-now-has-two-ethics-groups-but-one-of-them-is-still-secret/ |website=qz.com |accessdate=31 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Hern |first1=Alex |title=DeepMind announces ethics group to focus on problems of AI |url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/04/google-deepmind-ai-artificial-intelligence-ethics-group-problems |website=theguardian.com |accessdate=31 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Sawers |first1=Paul |title=Alphabet’s DeepMind sets up ‘ethics and society’ unit to research real-world impact of AI |url=https://venturebeat.com/2017/10/04/alphabets-deepmind-sets-up-ethics-and-society-unit-to-research-real-world-impact-of-ai/ |website=venturebeat.com |accessdate=31 May 2019}}</ref>
