Google has appointed Koray Kavukcuoglu as its new Chief AI Architect and Senior Vice President, marking a strategic move to fast-track AI integration across its products. Koray, formerly the CTO of DeepMind, will now report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai while continuing his role at DeepMind under CEO Demis Hassabis.

The newly created role reflects Google’s growing focus on accelerating product innovation using its advanced AI models. According to Pichai, Kavukcuoglu will drive faster development cycles, tighter integration, and more efficient deployment of AI technologies across the company’s offerings.

This move comes as Alphabet faces mounting pressure to justify its projected $75 billion AI investments while fending off rising competition and regulatory scrutiny.
