Hassabis originally planned to leave Google at the same time as Jeff Dean, but management was concerned that the departure of both AI leaders would negatively impact the stock price, so they advised him to stay for the time being. Ultimately, Jeff Dean and others left, and Hassabis transitioned to become the chairman of Google DeepMind and the chief scientist of Alphabet. Following the announcement, Alphabet's stock price briefly dropped by about 5%. Pathfounders indicated that this might just be a transitional arrangement, and Hassabis could still choose to leave Google once the situation stabilizes.
