Alphabet Restructures AI Leadership as DeepMind CEO Hassabis Shifts Role
Alphabet announced a leadership change in its AI division, with Demis Hassabis stepping down as Google DeepMind CEO to become Alphabet's chief scientist and chairman. Koray Kavukcuoglu will take over daily operations as senior vice president and chief AI architect. Several senior AI engineers, including Jeff Dean, left to start a new AI-focused startup. The changes come amid delays in launching Google's Gemini AI model and growing competition from rivals Anthropic and OpenAI.
