Google is reportedly restructuring its AI leadership, with co-founder Sergey Brin taking direct oversight of the Gemini project.
Commentators highlight that Brin, despite being the third richest person globally, is deeply involved—working at the office 3-4 days a week and writing code. This mirrors similar "founder mode" moves by Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, underscoring the immense strategic value tech giants place on the AI race.
