Remember how Google is intending to buy AI company DeepMind for $500 million? Turns out it's not for the birth of Skynet. Instead, it will be powering the company's search systems.

Re/code reports that the brains from DeepMind won't answer to Andy Rubin, who is heading up their robotics department. Instead, they will report to Google's search expert Jeff Dean.

Jeff Dean is big on developing neural network systems that identify data. DeepMind themselves have in the past worked on "a smarter recommendation system for online commerce, and something to do with images."

How much better can Google search get we wonder?
