“We are of course very happy about this. DeepMind is a giant within AI with a fantastic platform that we are very proud and excited to be a part of”, said Christian Lövstedt, General Manager at Midjiwan. “We have noticed that Polytopia is particularly popular among so-
called brainiacs, but this will be the start of something completely new when we are taking on artificial intelligence.”
DeepMind is an artificial intelligence company founded by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman in 2010 in England. The company was acquired in 2014 by Google and aims to create general artificial intelligence with the help of computer games.
“So excited for this, can't wait to see how our AI does on the strategic gem Polytopia, one of
my favourite mobile games!!”, said Demis Hassabis, founder and CEO of DeepMind in a Tweet.
The Battle of Polytopia was launched in 2016 and has been installed over 14 million times by players worldwide, mainly in Europe and the US. A game session lasts about 30 minutes and Polytopia is available on App Store, Google Play, Steam and in Tesla cars.
