Google DeepMind's AlphaGo Co-Creator Leaves to Build 'Endlessly Learning Superintelligence' Startup

David Silver, co-creator of Google DeepMind's groundbreaking AlphaGo system, departs to launch London startup Ineffable Intelligence with the ambitious goal of building 'an endlessly learning superintelligence that self-discovers the foundations of all knowledge' through reinforcement learning methods.

• David Silver, a longtime Google DeepMind researcher who played key roles in AlphaGo and other major AI breakthroughs, leaves the company to launch his own startup called Ineffable Intelligence
• Silver's new London-based company actively recruits AI researchers and seeks venture capital funding, with Silver aiming to build 'an endlessly learning superintelligence that self-discovers the foundations of all knowledge'
• The departure follows a trend of prominent AI researchers leaving established labs to pursue superintelligence, as Silver advocates for reinforcement learning methods that go beyond human knowledge rather than relying on large language models
