NoteThe source confirms that DeepMind was founded in 2010 and discusses its co-founders and leadership, but it does not explicitly name Shane Legg or confirm his role as 'Co-founder & Chief AGI Scientist'. While the source mentions Demis Hassabis as a co-founder and current CEO, it does not provide a complete list of all co-founders or their specific titles. The start date of 2010 aligns with the claim's 2010-09 date (same year, month-level precision). However, without explicit mention of Shane Legg in the source text, his specific role and title cannot be verified from this excerpt alone.
