"Over 500 Million Dollars in Losses"
"Co-founder of Google's artificial intelligence lab DeepMind takes leave of absence amid 'controversy over projects he's overseen' and company losses of $571 million
Mustafa Suleyman, 34, has taken a leave of absense from DeepMind, an artificial intelligence lab owned by Google's parent company Alphabet
Suleyman runs DeepMind's 'applied' division, which deals with health, energy and technology sectors
A spokesman said he was taking a 'time out', adding it was a mutual decision
It is expected that Suleyman, who is in his 30s, will return by the end of the year
Suleyman’s team had been responsible for finding ways for DeepMind to make money, working on a text-to-speech service for Google Cloud
However, earlier this month DeepMind’s losses rose 55 percent to $571 million
The company he founded may be owned by one of the world’s largest companies, however Suleyman has said ‘capitalism is a failing society’
His ambition with DeepMind is to ‘solve the world’s toughest problems’, making no mention of how such ventures could be profitable" (DailyMail)
"Suleyman founded DeepMind in 2010 alongside current Chief Executive Officer Demis Hassabis.
Four years later, Google bought out the company for $486 million, which led to an expensive race in Silicon Valley for specialists in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
Reports of Suleyman’s hiatus Wednesday sparked speculation of a rift between Google and DeepMind over how to commercialize their AI products.
Suleyman’s team had essentially been responsible for finding ways for DeepMind to make money, working on a text-to-speech service for Google Cloud and cutting Google’s data center cooling costs.
However, earlier this month, the Financial Times reported that DeepMind’s losses had risen 55 percent to $571 million, credited largely to a series of aggressive bids made by Suleyman to secure the world’s brightest artificial intelligence minds under DeepMind's payroll."
Wow...Well my Friends this doesn't sound too good at all... How much did the Alpha Zero Project Cost I wonder?
