Google DeepMind co-founder and Nobel Prize-winning AI scientist Demis Hassabis is stepping away from his day-to-day operational role at DeepMind to take on a broader position within Alphabet. Hassabis will become chair of DeepMind and chief scientist of Alphabet, a move he says will give him more time to focus on long-term strategy and scientific breakthroughs. He also highlighted his work at Isomorphic Labs, the AI-powered drug discovery company spun out of DeepMind. The leadership reshuffle comes as Google competes with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Chinese AI companies in an increasingly intense race toward more capable AI systems. Hassabis, who has said he has been working toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) his entire life, now says he feels it may be getting close. The changes also come amid a broader wave of senior departures from Google, including longtime engineer Jeff Dean and other prominent AI researchers.
