谷歌还宣布，自2018年起负责公司搜索、广告、商业产品的主管Prabhakar Raghavan将升为首席技术官，并与谷歌CEO Sundar Pichai密切合作。Raghavan负责的知识与信息团队将由在谷歌工作了二十年的高管Nick Fox接任。Google's CEO stated: "The speed of AI development exceeds any previous technology, in order to continuously accelerate progress, we have made efforts in simplifying the structure. This transition will bring these teams closer together, improve feedback loops, and enable us to quickly deploy new models into the Gemini app."
Google is restructuring its ai division, transferring the Gemini app team to DeepMind to enhance competitiveness in the AI field.
On Thursday, October 17, Google announced that the Gemini app team will be transferred to the artificial intelligence research lab DeepMind, under Google's AI head Demis Hassabis, while the assistant team focusing on home products will move to the platform and devices department.
Google also announced that Prabhakar Raghavan, who has been in charge of the company's search, advertising, and business products since 2018, will be promoted to Chief Technical Officer and will closely collaborate with Google CEO Sundar Pichai. The knowledge and information team led by Raghavan will be succeeded by executive Nick Fox, who has been working at Google for twenty years.
Pichai stated in a blog post:
"The pace of AI development is faster than any technology before, and to continuously accelerate progress, we have made efforts in simplifying the structure.
This transfer will bring these teams closer together, improve feedback loops, and allow us to rapidly deploy new models into the Gemini application.
Last week, Google announced the upgrade of the Gemini 1.5 AI model, launching Gemini-1.5-Pro-002 and Gemini-1.5-Flash-002, this upgrade reduced costs, significantly improved performance, and accelerated response time.
The move to transfer the Gemini app team to DeepMind comes as Google continues to restructure its teams to respond more quickly to the increasingly intense competition in the ai race. In addition, Google is facing more and more challenges, such as intensified competition from TikTok and AI startups in its search and advertising businesses. Currently, Google is dealing with several antitrust lawsuits related to its search and advertising businesses.
In July, Alphabet, Google's parent company, released its second-quarter report, which showed that revenue for the quarter was lower than expected and predicted that profit margins would continue to tighten.
So far this year, Alphabet's stock price has risen by 18%, while the s&p 500 index has risen by 22%.
