Google acquired DeepMind 2 years ago (for a reported $400 million). 
DeepMind began as an independent company at least 2 years before.  One 
of the founders wrote Theme Park in the 1990s with an innovative park 
visitor AI.  DeepMind itself first developed a generalized game AI to 
play Atari 2600 games.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbsqaJwpu6A
