Technology·Short term·▼ -3%

Google will surface a more visible Gemini product push under Koray Kavukcuoglu, while Demis Hassabis becomes the public face of Alphabet’s AI strategy; the next quarter should bring clearer product and research announcements tied to Gemini app and Frontier AI.

This is one of the clearest corporate AI power shifts in the input. It affects who sets priorities for Gemini, how DeepMind is organized, and how quickly Google can turn research into products.

Curated summary

Sundar Pichai told staff that Demis Hassabis will become Chair of Google DeepMind and Chief Scientist of Alphabet, while Koray Kavukcuoglu takes over Gemini model development, Frontier AI research, the Gemini app and developer teams. Jeff Dean is leaving after 27 years to launch a public benefit corporation with Sanjay Ghemawat. The move is a clear signal that Google is tightening control over its AI stack around Gemini and AGI-oriented research.
