Combining the teams, backed by the computational resources of Google, aims to significantly accelerate the company&#8217;s progress in AI.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, in April 2024, the company consolidated the teams across Google Research and DeepMind working on building AI models into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/32768\/deepmind\">Google DeepMind<\/a>. This will allow it to concentrate its compute-intensive modeling work in one place and more quickly scale its capacity to deliver AI applications, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the move, Google&#8217;s Responsible AI teams, which focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/ai-ethics\">AI safety and ethics<\/a> and were previously under the Research organization, were moved to Google DeepMind &#8220;to be closer to where the models are built and scaled&#8221; and increase collaboration with developers to design, build and train its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/google-gemini\">Gemini AI<\/a> models safely.<\/p>\n<p>As CEO of Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis leads the development of its general AI systems to power the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/google-deepminds-achievements-and-breakthroughs-in-ai-research\">next generation of Alphabet&#8217;s products<\/a> and services. His work includes the development of DeepMind technologies to support Google&#8217;s Gemini generative AI models.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Dean is the Chief Scientist of Google Research and Google DeepMind, reporting to Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. Working alongside Hassabis, Dean is setting the future direction of the company&#8217;s AI research and leading its most strategic technical projects related to AI.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DeepMind, with its pioneering advancements in artificial intelligence, continues to shape the future of technology.
