Technology Leadership
Demis Hassabis
Co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, and winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared with John Jumper) for AlphaFold's protein-structure prediction work. Hassabis now manages two distinct value propositions inside Alphabet simultaneously: Gemini, a consumer and enterprise AI product Alphabet has said reached roughly 750 million users alongside a reported $20 billion-per-quarter cloud revenue tailwind, and Isomorphic Labs, a Nobel-credentialed drug-discovery operation with its first clinical drug candidates expected in 2026. In mid-2026 public remarks he pushed back on claims Google is losing the AI talent race and separately called for a new US-led global AI safety watchdog.
