Sergey Brin Returns To Lead Google's Gemini
7.0
Google cofounder Sergey Brin said last week at Stanford's School of Engineering centennial that a brief retirement beginning in December 2019 left him restless and pushed him back into Google's AI work, where he helped drive development of Gemini. He acknowledged Google initially "underinvested" in consumer-facing AI while OpenAI advanced chatbots, and emphasized Google's advantage in neural research, custom chips, and data centers.
