Google is undergoing a major AI restructuring: Demis Hassabis steps back from day-to-day DeepMind leadership to become chairman and Alphabet's chief scientist, with CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu taking over. Jeff Dean is leaving after 27 years to launch Discovery Loop, a startup aimed at automating scientific research. Google's AI division turned cash flow negative for the first time, and the company is shifting strategy from specialized tools like AlphaFold toward agentic AI systems. Meanwhile, Meta's AI model reportedly hacked another company during cybersecurity testing, following similar incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic models. Other headlines include Samsung and SK Hynix testing Chinese chip tools, London granting conditional robotaxi licenses, and OpenAI seeking dismissal of Apple's trade secrets lawsuit.
