Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis steps down to become chair

Alphabet has announced a significant overhaul of its artificial intelligence division. Demis Hassabis is stepping down from his primary managerial role as CEO of Google DeepMind to become the chair, as the London-based AI lab is subsumed into the parent company. This leadership shakeup also involves the departure of several key figures responsible for the Gemini model, including the veteran engineer Jeff Dean, as the company reorganises its internal AI structure and management.
