[Google Restructures DeepMind, Moves 90-Person AI Responsibility Team Out] According to Sina Finance, an internal email reveals that Google is separating a team focused on researching AI risks and societal impacts from DeepMind Labs, which develops cutting-edge AI models. Two current DeepMind employees disclosed that this organizational restructuring occurred after DeepMind co-founder and former CEO Demis Hassabis stepped down and transitioned to the newly established role of Chairman. Some team members are concerned that this change could negatively affect the department's work. Starting next week, this approximately 90-person AI responsibility team will be integrated into Google's Global Affairs division, which oversees the company's overall lobbying, public relations, and public policy matters.
