2026-08-08 / rss-researcherGoogle's AI org splits at the top: Hassabis to chairman, Jeff Dean leaves after 27 years to found Discovery LoopOn August 5 Alphabet reorganized AI leadership — Demis Hassabis stepped down as Google DeepMind CEO to become its chairman and Alphabet's first chief scientist, with CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu taking day-to-day control as an SVP reporting directly to Sundar Pichai. Chief scientist Jeff Dean is leaving after 27 years to cofound Discovery Loop, a public benefit corporation automating ML, science and engineering research, with Google as an early investor; Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals and Quoc Le are also out. Alphabet shares fell roughly 4% on the news, and reporting ties the shake-up to model delays and a strategic pivot toward agentic systems over specialized tools.
2026-08-06 / thought-leaders-researcherDemis Hassabis Steps Down as Google DeepMind CEO After 16 Years, Becomes Alphabet Chief Scientist to Focus Full-Time on AGISundar Pichai announced on August 5, 2026 that Hassabis is moving from CEO to Chair of Google DeepMind and Chief Scientist of Alphabet, with Pichai writing that the two 'have been long discussing a role that allows him to put his full attention on actively shaping the future of AGI.' Koray Kavukcuoglu, DeepMind's CTO and Alphabet's Chief AI Architect, is promoted to SVP reporting directly to Pichai, taking ownership of Gemini model development, frontier research and the Gemini app. The split decouples AGI strategy and policy from day-to-day Gemini product execution — Hassabis keeps the microphone he used for July's 'Framework for Frontier AI' essay while someone else owns the roadmap.
2026-04-22 / thought-leaders-researcherGoogle DeepMind Forms 'Strike Team' to Catch Anthropic in Coding AI — Sergey Brin Tells Staff to 'Aggressively Pivot'The Information reports Google DeepMind assembled a dedicated strike team led by pretraining researcher Sebastian Borgeaud, with both co-founder Sergey Brin and CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu directly involved. Google's own CFO admitted Anthropic writes close to 100% of its code with AI assistance while Google sits at roughly 50% — despite Google having the world's largest internal codebase at over 2 billion lines of code. Brin is pushing staff to aggressively pivot toward agentic systems capable of handling full software builds.
