Google is set to restructure its AI division Deepmind by removing its operational autonomy, according to The Decoder. Founder Demis Hassabis is expected to leave the company in the coming months as part of this shift.
Koray Kavukcuoglu will assume responsibility for Deepmind’s daily operations, although he will not carry the CEO title. Additionally, all development related to the Gemini project is being relocated to Google's Bay Area offices, signaling a consolidation of resources.
This restructuring reflects broader trends in the AI sector, which Japanese investors and tech companies are closely monitoring as global competition intensifies in artificial intelligence and machine learning innovation.
