Google AI CEO has a message for laid off engineers at Meta, Amazon, Block, and other companies

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis argues companies cutting engineers due to AI are misguided. He believes increased productivity should fuel more projects, not layoffs. Hassabis sees AI as an opportunity to expand ambitions, not shrink workforces, and is eager to hire talent shed by rivals for new ventures like drug discovery and game design.
