Google Gemini and DeepMind Join Forces to Drive AI Forward
Google Streamlines AI Development
Alphabet's Google has relocated the team behind its Gemini AI assistant app to the DeepMind research lab, a part of its strategy to streamline AI initiatives. Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai emphasized that this restructuring will help maintain the rate of progress in AI development.
Leadership Changes at Google
In this transition, senior leader Prabhakar Raghavan will depart from his role overseeing Google's search and ads units to take on the position of chief technologist. Nick Fox, previously acting as a search deputy, will now oversee the search, ads, maps, and shopping services.
Boosting AI Research
- Google has been consolidating its AI teams to enhance Gemini models.
- The merger of DeepMind with Google Brain seeks to challenge competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic.
- Google aims to pivot DeepMind towards becoming more product-oriented rather than purely research-focused.
Facing Challenges Ahead
Despite being a leader in search engines, Google must address claims of lagging behind competitors while focusing on maintaining its stronghold in profitable sectors.
