Demis Hassabis is an AI executive associated with Google DeepMind and Alphabet’s broader AI research direction.

Separate reporting also includes Hassabis in the context of public debate over whether the AI industry should slow frontier development, with political figures arguing against a pause and emphasizing US–China competition in AI.
