| 2017 || June || Partnership || DeepMind’s safety team partners wit with {{w|OpenAiOpenAI}} in the development of an algorithm which can infer what humans want by being told which of two proposed behaviors is better. The learning algorithm uses small amounts of human feedback to solve modern {{w|reinforcement learning}} environments.<ref>{{cite web |title=Learning from Human Preferences |url=https://openai.com/blog/deep-reinforcement-learning-from-human-preferences/ |website=openai.com |accessdate=29 June 2019}}</ref>

| 2019 || April || {{w|AI}} development || DeepMind researchers develop an {{w|AI}} tasked with teaching itself to solve arithmetic, algebra and probability problems, among others. However, the neural network performs poorly when tested on a maths exam taken by 16-year-olds in the United Kingdom, getting just 14 out of 40 questions correct, or the equivalent of an E grade.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Vaughan |first1=Adam |title=DeepMind created a maths AI that can add up to 6 but gets 7 wrong |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/2198761-deepmind-created-a-maths-ai-that-can-add-up-to-6-but-gets-7-wrong/ |website=newscientist.com |accessdate=3 June 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Srivastava |first1=Smriti |title=DeepMind Examined AI Neural Net Over High School Maths, but Lacked Success |url=https://www.analyticsinsight.net/deepmind-examined-ai-neural-net-over-high-school-maths-but-lacked-success/ |website=analyticsinsight.net |accessdate=3 June 2019}}</ref>
