So, Google's list so far:

- Some top ML talent: Geoffrey Hinton, Sebastian Thrun, Peter Norvig, Jeff Dean, Andrew Ng.

- One of D-Wave's quantum computers to establish their 'Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab'.

- Creepy robot maker Boston Dynamics.

- A stack of other robotics companies: Schaft.inc, Industrial Perception, Redwood Robotics, Meka Robotics, Molomni, Bot & Dolly, Autofuss.

- DeepMind, obviously.

Am I missing any?
