Demis Hassabis says that half of all innovations that caused the recent AI boom came from DeepMind, which is London based.

his opinion is obviously biased.

If we say that half of innovations came from Alphabet/Google, then most of them (transformers, LLMs, tensorflow) came from Google Research and not Deep Mind.

People are choosing headquarters for access to capital rather than talent. That should tell you a lot about the current dynamics of the AI boom.

Google Deepmind is based in London.
