Demis Hassabis Steps Down as DeepMind CEO; Shares Fall

Alphabet reorganized AI leadership: DeepMind co‑founder Demis Hassabis will step back from day‑to‑day management to become Chair of Google DeepMind and Chief Scientist at Alphabet, focusing on long‑term AGI research, advising his successor and spending more time at Isomorphic Labs. Koray Kavukcuoglu was promoted to Senior Vice President and operational head of DeepMind/Google’s AI division, reporting to CEO Sundar Pichai and overseeing Gemini model development, frontier research, the Gemini app and developer platforms. Longtime Google research lead Jeff Dean is leaving after 27 years to co‑found an independent machine‑learning research company with Sanjay Ghemawat; Google says it will support and invest in the effort. The change signals a shift toward product execution and rebuilding coding/pretraining capabilities amid pressure from competitors, and briefly pushed Alphabet shares down about 4–5%.

Fidji Simo Steps Down from OpenAI No. 2 Role

Fidji Simo is leaving her full-time role at OpenAI and will transition to a part-time advisor after an extended medical leave, a change she announced on LinkedIn on July 9, 2026. Simo joined OpenAI’s board in 2024 and joined the company in May 2025 to lead its applications business, taking the title CEO, AGI Deployment earlier in 2026. She consolidated product and business operations, drove early advertising efforts, and had several senior executives reporting to her; OpenAI president Greg Brockman covered her product responsibilities during her leave. Simo cited a prolonged recovery from a severe exacerbation of a chronic illness (diagnosed as POTS in 2019) after going on medical leave in April 2026. Her departure heightens a leadership gap as OpenAI navigates recent senior exits, efforts to monetize beyond ChatGPT and a confidential IPO filing.
