Google DeepMind is undergoing a major restructuring. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis is giving up the title to become chairman of the unit and chief scientist of Alphabet, the company said Wednesday, formalizing a shift away from day-to-day management and toward AGI (artificial general intelligence) strategy and scientific applications of AI.
Koray Kavukcuoglu, DeepMind’s chief technology officer and Alphabet’s chief AI architect, is taking over daily operations as senior vice president of Google DeepMind. He will report to CEO Sundar Pichai rather than holding a stand-alone CEO title and will oversee Gemini model development going forward.
