Shane Legg is a co-founder of DeepMind, the AI research lab established in 2010 with backing from prominent tech billionaires, whose mission centers on "solving intelligence" and advancing general AI capabilities.

The citation occurs in a discussion of how AGI research is legitimized and funded, raising questions about whose definitions of "general intelligence" prevail in industry-driven AI development.
