10. DeepMind

DeepMind is an AI subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). It has disrupted the field of molecular biology through its AlphaFold AI model, which has solved 98.5% of human proteins’ structures, a problem that puzzled molecular and microbiologists for over half a century.

AlphaTensor, on the other hand, is designed to find novel methods for matrix multiplications, and is expected to speed up computers through discovery of new algorithms, especially as Moore’s law is expected to hit its limits in the next couple of years. DeepMind has major investors like Horizon Ventures and Founders Fund. One of the company’s models named ‘Gato’ has also been described as a proto-AGI, making DeepMind one of the most important AI companies in the world in terms of AGI research.
