DeepMind CEO Slams AI Job Replacement Hype as 'Short-Sighted'
Google's DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has sharply criticized tech companies using AI as an excuse for layoffs, calling it a 'major mistake.' Speaking at Google I/O, he argued AI should amplify human productivity rather than replace workers. With new models like Gemini 3.5 Flash boosting coding efficiency, Hassabis sees opportunities for teams to tackle more ambitious projects - from drug discovery to game design - not fewer employees.
