Google’s Top AI Brains Are Leaving to Launch Discovery Loop

Four prominent AI researchers, including Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat, are leaving Google to launch a new startup called Discovery Loop. The company aims to automate scientific and engineering experiments using AI, marking a major talent loss for Google.

He then shared his own interest: an automated version of the scientific method. “You propose an experiment, you implement what you need to run the experiment, you evaluate the experiment, and then you get results from that,” he said. Dean said that running thousands of those automated loops could unlock groundbreaking advances in multiple domains like science, biology, chip design, and even making improved AI models.
