Google Brain was a deep learning artificial intelligence research team that served as the sole AI branch of Google before being incorporated under the newer umbrella of Google AI, a research division at Google dedicated to artificial intelligence. Formed in 2011, it combined open-ended machine learning research with information systems and large-scale computing resources.[1] It created tools such as TensorFlow, which allow neural networks to be used by the public, and multiple internal AI research projects,[2] and aimed to create research opportunities in machine learning and natural language processing.[2] It was merged into former Google sister company DeepMind to form Google DeepMind in April 2023.
