Personnel: David Silver at Google DeepMind (Principal Research Scientist; AlphaGo / AlphaZero)

NoteThe source explicitly mentions David Silver as a key figure at DeepMind associated with AlphaGo and AlphaZero. The text states 'According to DeepMind's David Silver, the AlphaGo research project was formed around 2014.' This confirms Silver's affiliation with Google DeepMind and his role in AlphaGo/AlphaZero research. The claimed startDate of 2013 is slightly earlier than the source's mention of 'around 2014' for the project formation, but this is a minor temporal discrepancy (within 1 year) and could reflect different interpretations of when Silver joined vs. when the formal project began. The source does not provide Silver's specific job title (Principal Research Scientist), but it clearly establishes his senior research role at DeepMind on AlphaGo/AlphaZero. The organization name 'Google DeepMind' is confirmed (DeepMind is described as 'an acquired subsidiary of Google').
