Google announced a major change in its AI leadership with Jeff Dean, its chief scientist for 27 years, leaving to start a new AI startup called Discovery Loop. Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, will become Google's chairman and chief scientist, while Koray Kavukcuoglu will lead development of the new Gemini 4 AI model. Alphabet will invest in Dean's startup and provide cloud resources. This leadership shift comes amid intense competition in AI, with Google facing pressure from rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic, and after reporting negative cash flow for the first time recently. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized the company's commitment to advancing AI technology quickly and purposefully.
