STRATEGIC REPORT
For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The directors present their strategic report of DeepMind Technologies Limited ("the Company’) for the year
ended 31 December 2023.
Review of the business
The Company specialises in Al systems development through the provision of research and development
services to other group undertakings. The mission is to build Al responsibly to benefit humanity and improve
billions of people’s lives.
During the year teams from DeepMind and Google Brain were brought together to accelerate progress in
artificial intelligence (Al). This internal alignment of priorities had no impact on the operations of the company
during the year.
The key financial and other performance indicators during the year ended 31 December 2023 and the year
ended 31 December 2022 were as follows:
Turnover
Turnover represents research and development remuneration from other group undertakings and increased
from £1,081 million to £1,527 million in the year, an increase of £446 million.
Administration expenses
Administration expenses increased from £1,010 million to £1,391 million in the year, an increase of £381
million. This increase is driven by an increase in staff costs.
Statement of financial position
The Company’s total assets increased from £516 million to £545 million in the year, an increase of £29
million, primarily related to an increase in debtors falling due within one year.
The statement of comprehensive income and the statement of financial position are set out on pages 11 and
