Alphabet shares slid about 5% after Nobel Prize–winning DeepMind engineer John Jumper announced his departure from Google DeepMind to join Anthropic, a move that follows other leadership exits in Google’s AI division and underscores ongoing talent shifts as AI rivals intensify the competition.
John Jumper, Nobel Prize co-winner for AlphaFold with Demis Hassabis, is leaving Google DeepMind to join Anthropic in a move that underscores the ongoing talent shift toward AI startups. Jumper led AlphaFold, the protein-folding AI that now provides hundreds of millions of predicted structures and has accelerated biomedical research; Hassabis praised the lasting legacy of his work. Jumper says he’s taking time to recharge and has not yet disclosed his exact role at Anthropic amid a broader wave of top researchers moving to AI firms ahead of IPOs.
