Alphabet Reshuffles AI Leadership as DeepMind CEO Hassabis Transitions to Chief Scientist
Alphabet announced a major leadership reshuffle in its AI division, with DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis stepping down to become Alphabet's chief scientist and Chair of Google DeepMind. Koray Kavukcuoglu, DeepMind's CTO, will take over daily operations as Senior Vice President. Several senior AI leaders, including Jeff Dean, have left to start a new AI startup amid delays in launching the Gemini model. The changes come as Google faces increased competition from OpenAI and Anthropic in the AI race, prompting investor concerns and a 4% drop in Alphabet's shares.
