Jasjeet Sekhon, Bridgewater Associates’ chief scientist and head of AI, will
become chief strategy officer at Google-owned DeepMind, founder Demis Hassabis
announced Wednesday. Sekhon, who joined Bridgewater in 2018 and helped build its
AI research and investment lab, AIA Labs, will also join Bridgewater’s board
after leaving his current roles. Alphabet’s DeepMind has been closing the gap
with AI leaders OpenAI and Anthropic, as Google seeks to strengthen its position
beyond traditional search dominance.
