Technologie: Alphabets KI-Sparte erhält eine neue Leitung – Aktie verliert deutlich
Nobelpreisträger Demis Hassabis gibt die Leitung von Google DeepMind ab und widmet sich anderen Aufgaben im Konzern. Die Neuaufstellung kommt für Google zu einem kritischen Zeitpunkt.
San Francisco - Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has announced significant changes in its Artificial Intelligence (AI) division. The Nobel laureate Demis Hassabis is stepping down from his role as leader of Google Deepmind, focusing more on advancing the exploration of potential Superintelligence within the corporation.
In addition to this, Hassabis will assume the role of Chief Scientist at Alphabet. This decision comes as Hassabis believes that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is becoming more achievable, a term referring to advanced AI systems with human-level intelligence.
Several leading developers of the Gemini AI model have also left the company. Among them, Jeff Dean, a seasoned engineer and former Chief Scientist at Deepmind, has decided to co-found his own startup. Koray Kavukcuoglu, who was the Technology leader at Deepmind, will now take charge of AI model development.
Alphabet's CEO Sundar Pichai addressed these changes in a blog post, emphasizing the company's commitment to rapid and purposeful progress. He reiterated Alphabet's determination to remain at the forefront of technological development, focusing particularly on areas where improvement is necessary.
