While the source discusses DeepMind's founding and leadership, it only explicitly names Demis Hassabis as a co-founder and CEO. Shane Legg's role as co-founder and Chief AGI Scientist cannot be verified or contradicted by this source text, as he is not mentioned. This is a case where the source discusses the relevant organization and time period but does not address the specific personnel claim.
