Sources: Google Reorganizes Divisions to Fully Develop Gemini
- Google's parent company Alphabet is undergoing a leadership shake-up at Google DeepMind.
- Some teams are being moved from DeepMind into Google's corporate system, reducing DeepMind's autonomy.
- Google co-founder Sergey Brin has urged AI employees to focus on the Gemini model.
- DeepMind head Demis Hassabis will become chairman, with Koray Kavukcuoglu taking over leadership responsibilities.
- Internal testing showed the Gemini model is lagging behind competitors, leading to a two-month delay in its release.
On August 13, PANews reported that Alphabet, Google's parent company, is implementing a significant leadership shake-up at Google DeepMind. This reorganization involves moving some teams from DeepMind into Google's corporate structure, which is expected to diminish DeepMind's autonomy.
Sources indicate that Google co-founder Sergey Brin has been encouraging core AI employees to fully commit to the development of the Gemini model. He has also been advocating for research directions such as 'recursive self-improvement.'
Following the restructuring, Demis Hassabis, the head of DeepMind, will assume the role of chairman, while Koray Kavukcuoglu will take over the leadership responsibilities, having final decision-making authority over major DeepMind decisions.
However, internal testing has revealed that the new flagship Gemini model still falls short compared to competitors in areas such as programming, prompting Google to delay its release by two months. Analysts believe this reorganization aims to accelerate the commercialization of AI and regain a competitive edge in AI models, although some employees are concerned about a potential decline in DeepMind's long-term scientific autonomy.
消息来源：谷歌重组部门以全面开发Gemini
8月13日，PANews报道，谷歌母公司Alphabet正在对谷歌DeepMind进行重大领导层重组。这一重组涉及将部分团队从DeepMind转移到谷歌的企业结构中，预计将削弱DeepMind的自主权。
消息来源指出，谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林一直在鼓励核心AI员工全力投入Gemini模型的开发。他还倡导“递归自我改进”等研究方向。
在重组后，DeepMind负责人德米斯·哈萨比斯将担任董事长，而科拉伊·卡武克丘格将接任领导职责，并拥有对DeepMind重大决策的最终决策权。
然而，内部测试显示，新的旗舰Gemini模型在编程等领域仍落后于竞争对手，这导致谷歌将其发布推迟了两个月。分析人士认为，这一重组旨在加速AI的商业化并重新获得在AI模型方面的竞争优势，但一些员工对DeepMind长期科学自主权可能进一步下降表示担忧。
