NoteThe source confirms: (1) Shane Legg is a co-founder of DeepMind (2010 start date matches), (2) he is Chief AGI Scientist, and (3) he led DeepMind's AI safety work. However, the source does NOT mention the specific title 'Lead, AGI Safety Council' — it only states he 'led DeepMind's AI safety work' in a 2017 context. The organization name 'Alphabet Google AI Governance Structure' is not used in the source; it refers to 'Google DeepMind' or 'DeepMind Technologies.' The record's organizational framing appears to be a formal/internal structure name not reflected in the Wikipedia source. The roles are substantially confirmed but the specific council title is unverifiable from this source.
