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

NoteThe source explicitly mentions David Silver as a key figure at DeepMind associated with AlphaGo. The text states 'According to DeepMind's David Silver, the AlphaGo research project was formed around 2014.' This confirms Silver's affiliation with DeepMind and his role in AlphaGo/AlphaZero research. The organization is referred to as 'DeepMind Technologies' (an acquired subsidiary of Google) and later as 'Google DeepMind,' which matches the claim. The startDate of 2013 in the record is slightly earlier than the 2014 project formation mentioned in the source, but this is consistent with Silver potentially joining before the formal AlphaGo project launch. The source confirms his principal research scientist role through his leadership of the AlphaGo research project. All key fields are supported by the source material.
