Google is losing two of its biggest AI researchers from day to day operations.
27-year Google veteran and Google Brain cofounder, Jeff Dean, is leaving Google with 3 others to focus on AI accelerating scientific research.
Demis Hassabis is no longer CEO of DeepMind and is now their chief scientist.
As AI research in big tech becomes more focused on LLMs and coding agents, I expect we’ll see more departures across the industry from people who got into AI research for the love of the game.
