NoteAll key fields in the record are confirmed by the source: (1) Person: Shane Legg ✓ (2) Organization: Google DeepMind ✓ (3) Role: Chief AGI Scientist & Co-founder ✓ (4) Start date 2010-09: The source confirms 'In 2010, Legg cofounded the start-up DeepMind Technologies' — the exact month of September is not specified in the source, but the year 2010 is confirmed. The source does not contradict September 2010; it simply provides less precision. This is a minor precision gap but not a contradiction. All substantive claims are directly supported by the Wikipedia source.
