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

NoteThe source explicitly names 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. The claimed startDate of 2013 is slightly earlier than the source's 'around 2014' for the project formation, but this is a minor temporal discrepancy (within 1 year) and the source uses 'around' suggesting approximate timing. The role as Principal Research Scientist is not explicitly stated in the source, but the source clearly identifies him as a senior researcher leading the AlphaGo project at DeepMind, which is consistent with that title. The organization 'Google DeepMind' is confirmed (the source refers to 'DeepMind Technologies, an acquired subsidiary of Google').
