Sundar Pichai 解释 Demis Hassabis 退出 DeepMind 日常管理与 Jeff Dean 离职

Sundar Pichai's explanation for Demis Hassabis stepping back from running DeepMind and Jeff Dean leaving Google:

"You're seeing natural evolutions as people spend their time doing things for a while... I feel proud to have worked together with Jeff for a long time. Obviously, he was seminal in his contributions here, and we're excited to see what he does with Discovery Loop.

I would say you're going through a moment in the industry where frontier model development is an all-consuming thing. We've had broad AI research, AGI research, and so on, but frontier model development is all-consuming. It's moving, picking up pace, and it's a very scaled operation, all the way from data and compute to the algorithmic work you do, to managing the teams and your model agents. I think it's become an important job in its entirety.

Demis has obviously been thinking about this moment for a long time. He's particularly interested in both how you go through this frontier moment safely and how you apply it to solve other problems. The work he did with AlphaFold and what we are doing now with Isomorphic are examples of how you can apply AGI to solve other problems... I think he wants to spend more of his time on those things"
