AI is transforming Google. In more ways than one.
Demis Hassabis is leaving his role as CEO of Google DeepMind to be the unit's Chairman. New roles: Chair of Google DeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet.
Chief scientist Jeff Dean and another Google AI executive are leaving to start their own company, which Google will invest in.
Discovery Loop, a public benefit corporation focused on automating scientific research and engineering workflows through AI.
Discovery Loop aims to build systems that automate the entire experimental loop—proposing, running, evaluating, and iterating on thousands of scientific and engineering experiments in parallel.
So much exodus of talent at Google though:
Founding Team: Jeff Dean is leaving alongside three other key Google AI figures:
Sanjay Ghemawat: Senior Fellow and Dean's longtime collaborator on foundational Google infrastructure (MapReduce, Bigtable, Spanner).
Oriol Vinyals: VP of Research at Google DeepMind and co-lead on Gemini.
Quoc Le: Co-founder of Google Brain and lead behind AutoML-Zero.
