\n\u201cDemis Hassabis, the CEO and cofounder of Google-owned artificial-intelligence lab DeepMind, has joined the robotics company Boston Dynamics as its new chief technology officer,” reports the original piece from ‘Wired’. The fascinating dance of tech titans continues as AI juggernaut, Demis Hassabis, jumps onto the Boston Dynamics ‘robo-dog\u2019. For those just joining us, Boston Dynamics is the ‘funky’ robotics company responsible for those mechanical creatures that seem straight out of a dystopian sci-fi novel.<\/p>\n
The news comes with its own slightly humorous irony since Boston Dynamics was once a Google property itself. The much-appreciated corporate version of \u2018Keeping Up with the Kardashians\u2019 seems to be setting its stage. Only this time, instead of reality TV stars who are famous for being famous, we are witnessing a dance of tech gurus and their metallic sidekicks.<\/p>\n
And speaking of sidekicks, it seems that the ‘Android’ team gets a new member too – Mike Hopkins, an ex-PayPal exec, joins Andy Rubin\u2019s brainchild with the intention to make it bigger and better than ever before. Not quite the mix anyone expected in the Android pot, but then again, unexpected combinations can produce surprising outcomes.<\/p>\n
It is significantly amusing to witness the interplay of Google\u2019s top-notch tech execs \u2013 “It\u2019s not always robo-dogs and AI rockstars, but today it is.” One does begin to wonder how much of Google is left in these Google-spawned or once Google-owned ventures. Either way, the Silicon Valley soap opera continues, with major plot twists served regularly.<\/p>\n
The addition of Demis Hassabis to the Boston Dynamics team not only adds a dash of AI brilliance but also stirs the pot of endless possibilities. Boston Dynamics\u2019 mechanical fauna may soon get an AI upgrade, making them as smart as they are agile. Meanwhile, Mike Hopkins’ addition to the Android team could make for some interesting strokes on the Android canvas. The tech world waits with bated breath to see these two make their magic.<\/p>\n
Thus, the great tech shuffle continues – endlessly fascinating, slightly unsettling, and always innovative. Stay tuned for the next episode of this gripping saga!
