DeepMind co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis believes that Google is poised to continue dominating the AI race and leave its competitors in the dust.
In a new Bloomberg interview at Davos, Hassabis highlights Google’s one-of-a-kind AI strategy, believing that its full-stack approach distances the firm from OpenAI, Microsoft and all other frontier model competitors.
According to Hassabis, Google is the only Big Tech firm that covers all layers of the AI tech stack, spanning chips, cloud services, models and applications.
“Well, I think everything starts with research, in my opinion, and the models especially being state-of-the-art on all the different benchmarks. And that’s what we focused on first when we put Google and DeepMind together.
And I think with the Gemini series, we’re very happy with how that’s going. There’s a lot more work to do there. But I think we’re the only organization that has the full stack from the TPUs and the hardware, the data centers, the cloud business, the frontier lab, and all of these amazing products that can, kind of natural fits for AI.”
Other players in the AI race rely on different sets of companies to provide the services for one or more layers of the tech stack. For instance, OpenAI primarily uses Nvidia GPUs for its chips and Microsoft Azure for cloud services.
Hassabis also signals that Google is primed to come out on top of the AI model war.
“So really structurally, from first principles, we should be doing very well. And I think there’s actually a lot more headroom to come from here.”
In Q3 of 2025, billionaire Warren Buffett accumulated over $4.33 billion worth of Alphabet (GOOGL) shares. And last week, Apple picked Google’s Gemini as the frontier model to power the iPhone maker’s intelligence features, including an AI-powered Siri.
