The UK is a center of extraordinary technological innovation with incredible talent and world-class institutions. Later this year, Google will build on this heritage by establishing our landmark King\u2019s Cross building in London alongside a historic European railway hub.<\/p>\n
Today, we\u2019re unveiling the building\u2019s name, Platform 37, and plans for The AI Exchange, a new public space dedicated to deepening understanding of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
Platform 37: A hub for AI innovation<\/p>\n
The name is a nod to the building\u2019s location next to King\u2019s Cross station and to \u201cMove 37,\u201d a pivotal play made by DeepMind\u2019s AI system AlphaGo<\/a> in a now-legendary 2016 match<\/a> against Go world champion Lee Sae Dol. Go is incredibly complex, with more possible board configurations than the number of atoms in the known universe, and has long been a proving ground for AI research. \u201cMove 37\u201d was so unconventional that human experts initially thought it was a mistake. But as the game unfolded, it became clear it enabled AlphaGo to win the game.<\/p>\n AlphaGo\u2019s victory heralded the beginning of what is now recognized as the modern era in AI, and catalyzed our work<\/a> using AI to tackle scientific problems. Since that breakthrough, our AI systems have helped accelerate advances in fields like materials discovery<\/a>, fusion energy research<\/a>, mathematical reasoning<\/a> and biology<\/a>.<\/p>\n This summer, Google DeepMind and Google teams will begin to move into Platform 37. Together our world-leading AI researchers, engineers, ethicists and others will build on our track record of safe and responsible AI development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UK is a center of extraordinary technological innovation with incredible talent and world-class institutions.
