U.S. eligibility

How this record meets the catalog’s published eligibility policy.

Eligible · basis: Documented U.S. control

Google DeepMind lists offices in London and in several U.S. and non-U.S. cities, and the official pages reviewed do not name a headquarters. It is assessed under U.S. control because Google and Alphabet document it as part of Google: Google's CEO announced it in April 2023 as a group combining DeepMind and Google Research's Brain team, and Alphabet's fiscal 2024 Form 10-K describes consolidating AI model teams across Google Research and Google DeepMind, with the costs reported in Alphabet-level activities. Alphabet Inc. is a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices in Mountain View, California, per its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. This catalog did not review which legal entities employ Google DeepMind staff in each country.12564
