Google AI Reorganization

Google is reorganizing its AI division amid intense competition and rising capital expenditure. Jeff Dean, a key AI figure, is leaving to start a new venture, Discovery Loop, focusing on AI for science and engineering. Demis Hassabis transitions to chairman of Google DeepMind and Chief Scientist at Alphabet, while Koray Kavukcuoğlu now leads Google’s AI division, focusing on Gemini 4. The changes occur as Google invests heavily in AI infrastructure and competes with rivals like OpenAI.
