The post describes Dean’s and Ghemawat’s transition to launch the independent corporationto accelerate discoveries in machine learning, science, and engineering. <\/p>\n

Pichai noted how Dean and Ghemawat “helped to drive some of the most significant technology transitions, from our earlysearch infrastructure to the neural networks that helped create the modern AI era.” <\/p>\n

The post regarding this organizational update, Next Chapter of Our AI Momentum, was published Wednesday andco-authored by Pichai and Hassabis. <\/p>\n

In an interview <\/a>with The New York Times, Dean said thatleaving Google, a public company, gives him more autonomy\u00a0to focus on scientific discoveries associated with AI. <\/p>\n
