Alphabet Inc is combining Google Brain and DeepMind, as it doubles down on artificial intelligence research in its race to compete with rival systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot.
The new division will be led by DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and its setting up will ensure “bold and responsible development of general AI,” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post on Thursday (20 April).
Alphabet said the teams that are being combined have delivered a number of high-profile projects including the transformer, technology that formed the bedrock of some of OpenAI’s own work.
