Google's AI shake-up: DeepMind's Hassabis steps aside, senior scientists depart

# Google's Top AI Leader Steps Back as Company Reshuffles Google's most prominent AI scientist, Demis Hassabis, is stepping back from running DeepMind (Google's AI research lab) to take a less hands-on role, signaling potential turbulence at the company even as it leads the race in artificial intelligence development. The move comes as several senior researchers have recently left Google, suggesting some concerns or disagreements about the company's direction. Hassabis says he's doing this because he believes human-level AI is now within reach, though the timing of his departure raises questions about what's happening behind the scenes at one of the world's most powerful AI companies.
