Google parent company Alphabet has announced the launch of Google DeepMind, a new AI-focused group within the company that combines its existing DeepMind and Brain teams.

The move will “significantly accelerate our progress in AI,” Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post accompanying the announcement. He added that, “To ensure the bold and responsible development of general AI, we’re creating a unit that will help us build more capable systems more safely and responsibly.”

DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis will head up the new group as CEO, while Brain co-founder Jeff Dean will serve as Google and Google DeepMind’s chief scientist.

Dean’s first project will be “a series of powerful, multimodal AI models,” Pichai wrote, while Hassabis will “lead the development of our most capable and responsible general AI systems,” that will ultimately help power the next generation of Alphabet’s products and services.
