Ron Burgundy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (Reuters) - Google Inc said on Sunday it had agreed to acquire privately held artificial intelligence company DeepMind Technologies Ltd. Technology news website Re/code, which reported news of the deal earlier, said the price was $400 million, without disclosing where it got the information. A Google spokesman declined to comment on the price.

Google, which is working on projects including self-driving cars and robots, has become increasingly focused on artificial intelligence in recent years.
