Demis Hassabis, the driving force behind Google DeepMind, is ascending to the role of chief scientist at Alphabet, Google's parent company, replacing Jeff Dean who is leaving to work at a start-up.
The role will enable Hassabis to "put his full attention on actively shaping the future of AGI," or artificial general intelligence, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai wrote on the company's Inside Google blog.
Hassabis' attention will still be divided, however: He will continue to lead research at Google spin-off Isomorphic Labs, which works on drug discovery, and although he will no longer be CEO of DeepMind, he will be its chair. Koray Kavukcuoglu will take over DeepMind, reporting directly to Pichai. He is currently its CTO.
Hassabis has been a strong promoter of AGI, defined by Google as the "hypothetical intelligence of a machine that possesses the ability to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can."
He has a long career in AI, having helped found DeepMind in 2010. He has been a prominent figure in the AGI field, prophesying in May that it will be a viable technology within three years. He has been keen to tackle any barriers in the way of developing the technology; just last month,

Let's start with the coolest thing about this cable: it's retractable. That's right. It's tiny and compact when you aren't using it, then stretches out to a maximum length of 6.6 feet. Or you can use it at one of its many preset lengths: 1.9 feet, 3.1 feet, 4.1 feet, 4.9 feet, 5.7 feet, and 6.2 feet. Just tug on it when you're done and it rolls back onto itself.
It's fast, too, providing up to 100W of power. With a proper 100W charging block, you can fast-charge your phone, tablet, laptop, earbuds, or whatever else in mere minutes rather than hours. That makes it perfectly versatile for so many device types and it'll serve you well for many years to come.
What's not to love about this nifty little accessory? Grab this retractable 100W Baseus USB-C cable for $15.19 before this deal goes away! This is, by the way, the cheapest price it's ever been. Nice!
