"Singapore's forward-looking approach and unique position make it the ideal place for our new Google DeepMind AI research lab. We are here to harness the region's exceptional talent, drive purposeful research, and build the essential partnerships to advance AI responsibly and deliver tangible, global impact," says Lila Ibrahim, chief operating officer of Google DeepMind, at a media briefing today.
Google DeepMind has opened a new research lab in Singapore to help strengthen Asia Pacific’s role as a creator of artificial intelligence (AI) rather than merely a consumer of it.
The new facility, which has begun hiring, will bring together research scientists, software engineers and AI impact specialists focused on building technologies tailored to the region. The move comes after Google DeepMind more than doubled its regional headcount over the past year.
