| 2014 || November || Notable comment || {{w|Elon Musk}} submits a comment to <code>edge.com</code> about the threat of AI:
 +
 +
{{Quote|The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I'm not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast. Unless you have direct exposure to groups like Deepmind, you have no idea how fast-it is growing at a pace close to exponential. The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five year timeframe. 10 years at most. This is not a case of crying wolf about something I don't understand.
 +
 +
I am not alone in thinking we should be worried. The leading AI companies have taken great steps to ensure safety. The recognize the danger, but believe that they can shape and control the digital superintelligences and prevent bad ones from escaping into the Internet. That remains to be seen...}}<ref>{{cite web |title=28 Best Quotes About Artificial Intelligence |url=https://www.bernardmarr.com/default.asp?contentID=1158 |website=bernardmarr.com |accessdate=29 June 2019}}</ref>

Full timeline

Year Month and date Event type Details
1997 Prelude British student Demis Hassabis, a chess child prodigy, attains a double first in Computer Science at Cambridge University.[8]
2009 Prelude Demis Hassabis attains a doctorate in Cognitive Neuroscience from University College London.[8]
2010 September Creation DeepMind Technologies is co-founded by Demis Hassabis alongside Shane Legg, a machine learning researcher from New Zealand, and childhood friend Mustafa Suleyman.[9][10][11]
2011 February 1 Funding DeepMind raises an undisclosed amount from Founders Fund and Horizons Ventures.[12]
2012 December Acquisition Facebook reportedly fails to acquire DeepMind, according to Forbes.[8] Discussions between DeepMind and Facebook about the acquisition happen around this time.[13]
2013 December AI development DeepMind reveals having developed an AI algorithm able to learn how to play iconic early video games like Breakout and Pong simply by watching them being played on a vintage 1977 Atari 2600 games console. The algorithm deduces the rules and rewards from the way the pixels are batted about the screen, then it is able to beat human opponents at playing the games.[14]
2013 December Team DeepMind reportedly has around 75 employees.[13]
2013 Team David Silver joins DeepMind as a full-time research scientist.[15]
2014 January 27 Acquisition Google engages in its largest European acquisition to date with a deal to buy DeepMind for £400 million (US$650 million). From then on, DeepMind starts becoming known worldwide.[2][16][9][14][17]
2014 October 29 AI development DeepMind unveils a neural network that can access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine. The project mimics properties of the human brain's short-term working memory. The result is a computer able to mimic some of the brain’s memory skills and even program like a human.[18][19][20][21]
2014 November Notable comment Elon Musk submits a comment to edge.com about the threat of AI:
The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I'm not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast. Unless you have direct exposure to groups like Deepmind, you have no idea how fast-it is growing at a pace close to exponential. The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five year timeframe. 10 years at most. This is not a case of crying wolf about something I don't understand.

I am not alone in thinking we should be worried. The leading AI companies have taken great steps to ensure safety. The recognize the danger, but believe that they can shape and control the digital superintelligences and prevent bad ones from escaping into the Internet. That remains to be seen...

[22]
2014 Recognition DeepMind receives the "Company of the Year" award from Cambridge Computer Laboratory.[23]
