Just a couple of months ago, a leaked memo said to be from a Google researcher cast doubt on the company’s future in AI, stating that it has “no moat” in the industry — and now, we seemingly have confirmation that it was real. In an interview with Decoder, Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google’s DeepMind, told The Verge that although he believes the memo was legitimate, he disagrees with its conclusions.

    It was well known that the memo was legitimate.

    But the message was not that google will lose the AI battle, but it will lose it with the current closed source business model. The memo is about moving to an open source business model for AI

      Read his quotes and it sounds like he thinks that they can continue with the closed source path, despite of the memo (which I believed had plenty of important points).

      You think we’ll see them make a fully open source model?
