Shane Legg — Notable For: Co-founding DeepMind; Early work on AGI; Machine super intelligence thesis

NoteThe source text directly confirms all three components of the claim. It identifies Shane Legg as co-founder of DeepMind (now Google DeepMind), documents his decades-long focus on AGI development and risk, and explicitly names his Ph.D. thesis 'Machine Super Intelligence' for which he won a notable prize. The source is from TIME's 2023 AI100 collection and discusses Legg's career and contributions comprehensively. The claim's 'as of 2026-03' date is later than the source date (Sep 07, 2023), but the facts being claimed are historical and remain accurate as of the source date, so this is not an outdated contradiction—the claim is simply asserting these facts remain true as of a later date.
