๐ง Demis Hassabis Steps Back โ Google DeepMind Gets a New Day-to-Day Boss

To cap off the shake-up, AI legend Jeff Dean is leaving Google after 27 years to launch a new company called Discovery Loop. The moves come as Google races to close the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic. Is this the reset DeepMind needed to get back in the race?
