Google's AI organization is being restructured, with chief scientist Jeff Dean departing after 27 years to launch Discovery Loop, a startup focused on AI for science, while DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis transitions to chairman and Alphabet chief scientist. Koray Kavukcuoglu is promoted to head Google's AI division and will lead development of Gemini 4. The reshuffling occurs as Google forecasts full-year capital expenditures of up to $205 billion while competing with OpenAI and Anthropic in frontier models.
