DeepMind Trivia Questions

This is true factually, but the statement is false in this list because it's a plausible myth—actually, it's correct. Let me correct: Mustafa Suleyman was a co-founder, but the statement is true. I'll replace.

While DeepMind's headquarters are in London, they have research offices in Canada, France, and the US, among other locations.

AlphaFold won the CASP competition in 2020, accurately predicting protein 3D shapes from amino acid sequences, a breakthrough in molecular biology.

AlphaGo used supervised learning from human expert games and self-play; it wasn't purely from scratch. Its successor AlphaGo Zero was fully self-taught.

Google bought DeepMind for around $500-650 million in 2014, making it a key part of Alphabet's AI research division.

Their DQN algorithm (2013) learned to play 49 Atari games from scratch using just the screen pixels and rewards, a pioneering reinforcement learning feat.

AlphaFold is fast but not that fast; typical predictions take minutes to hours depending on protein size and complexity, not under one second.

AlphaZero defeated Stockfish, the top chess engine, but DeepMind has never fielded an AI against a human world champion in a formal match.
