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

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.

reserves.
