Was Demis demoted or promoted?
Do you think Demis wanted to step down as CEO to have more time for research and leading Isomorphic Labs (as implied by comments he and Sundar made on X), or do you think Google leadership (Sundar, Sergey, Larry) wanted him to move aside?
Demis has always considered himself a scientist first and I believe he wants to use AI for good. He doesn't come across to me as someone motivated primarily by power, greed, or money. So if becoming Chief Scientist means spending less time dealing with daily pressure, operations, and management, it actually seems like it could be a good move for him.
There is also some history of him trying to spin DeepMind out of Google (there is an entire chapter in his biography), and after becoming part of Google, DeepMind's original safety commitments seemed to gradually disappear (for example, Google's contracts with the Pentagon/dow).
On the other hand, recently Demis has become much more involved in shaping AI policy, regulation, and he was lobbying in Washington 2 weeks ago. I also saw a comment from Mallaby (guy who wrote the biography book) saying that Demis has effectively been playing the role of Google's AI statesman for some time now and Koray was leading the lab. Does taking on the Chief Scientist role mean he is leaning further into that side of the job, becoming more of Google's public face on AI policy and governance?
Or do you think this was actually a demotion, and these new roles are mostly ceremonial positions designed to make the transition look positive? Could it be that Sundar/Larry/Sergey decided Gemini needed different leadership because it doesn't seem to be keeping up with Claude or ChatGPT?
If Demis decided to leave Google and start another company, I have no doubt he could raise billions and attract top talent. The question is whether this move gives him more freedom to focus on the things he cares about, whether Google is slowly reducing his influence over AI development, whether Google (or even Demis) wants him to be more involved into policies/politics?

While China endorses open-source AI models, Demis Hassabis heads to Washington to push AI vetting proposal and David Sacks criticized regulators in latest tweet
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-16/deepmind-ceo-to-lobby-washington-on-plan-for-group-to-vet-ai-models paywalled but a quick summary and my opinion
Summary of the article:
- Demis Hassabis has been developing this AI vetting proposal for months, consulting with major AI leaders, most notably Dario Amodei, whom he considers a close friend.
- According to Bloomberg, he plans to lobby Washington policymakers next week to gather support for the vetting framework.
- Because Hassabis has a strong reputation and is a Nobel laureate, he is uniquely well-positioned to lead this kind of thing in DC.
My opinion on this: While I understand where Demis is coming from given his long-standing focus on safety, GDM has a track record of rolling back safety mechanisms when it comes to what their AI can and cannot be used for. It’s also questionable how much final say Demis actually has within the broader Google corporate structure.
The timing of this is interesting. It all comes in the same week that:
- The Chinese president openly endorsed open-source AI models (clearly for strategic incentives).
- Moonshot AI dropped a new model that seems just as capable as Fable or ChatGPT on certain tasks.
Meanwhile, David Sacks, Trump’s AI advisor, just criticized these exact types of regulations today. I'm really wondering where all of this leads.

Rivian - iskustva i da li postavljaju ghost oglase?
Da li neko trenutno radi ili je radio u Rivian? Razmisljam o promeni kompanije, prvenstveno me zanimaju DevOps pozicije.
Primetio sam da imaju oglase na Linkedinu za (senior) DevOps/Platform koje repost-uju vec 4-5 meseci, da li je Rivian takodje jedna od kompanija koje postavljaju 'ghost' oglase? Uglavnom sam cuo pozitivne komentare o kompaniji.
