TL;DR

Demis Hassabis will relinquish day-to-day duties as Google DeepMind’s CEO to become chair and chief scientist at Alphabet, with Koray Kavukcuoglu named senior vice-president to lead DeepMind. The move signals tighter US control, comes amid Gemini competition and staff concerns over Pentagon collaborations, and follows Jeff Dean’s departure to form Discovery Loop. Hassabis has urged a US safety body for cutting-edge AI as the industry faces a pivotal, potentially AGI-tinged moment.
