Jeff Dean and other top AI researchers are leaving Google to launch their own startup
Discovery Loop is being built around automating scientific experimentation at massive scale.
Jeff Dean is leaving Google with Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le, and Oriol Vinyals to co-found the AI startup, with Dean reportedly set to be CEO. The company is a public benefit corporation that says it will use AI systems to run and iterate thousands of experiments at once. It is also interested in recursive self-improvement, using AI to help build stronger AI with less human iteration. Alphabet is backing the startup alongside an initial round co-led by Radical Ventures and Khosla Ventures. TechCrunch AI's note
