Google is changing the name of its London headquarters announces Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis; shares the ‘story’ behind the new name

Google is renaming its London headquarters Platform 37. The renaming of the building is a reference to its location near King’s Cross station and to a key moment in the history of artificial intelligence (AI), according to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis. In a blog post, the company also announced plans for a public space called The AI Exchange, which will allow visitors to explore and discuss AI through exhibitions and educational programmes.

The new name and initiatives were revealed as Google prepares to move teams from Google DeepMind and other Google divisions into the building later this year.
