Talk:David Silver (computer scientist)

a few proposed changes - minor
Hello all. I'm a representative of DeepMind. I have a few minor suggestions for this article, but don't want to create a conflict of interest by editing it directly, hence the edit request. Any help would be much appreciated.

1. Change title: David Silver (programmer) to David Silver (computer scientist)

2. Add sentence: Both of these projects were published in Nature as front cover articles.

i.e "David also led the AlphaGo project, culminating in the first program to defeat a world champion in the full-size game of Go. Both of these projects were published in Nature as front cover articles. AlphaGo subsequently received an honorary 9 Dan Professional Certification; and won the Cannes Lion award for innovation."

3. Add a final sentence: "In 2017 David was awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal and the Mensa Foundation Award."

 * I'm sorry, but I don't see these as improvements to the current article. ❌. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 15:54, 17 July 2017 (UTC)


 * These changes seem highly relevant to me. Programmer is way too narrow to describe the work Dr. Silver is doing, it goes way beyond this and belongs to the Computer Science category rather. Edmond8674 (talk) 14:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
