Google veterans back a new artificial intelligence start-up

The new company is led by Jeff Dean, with backing from Google, after years of senior work at the tech giant.

NYT Business reports that four top Google artificial intelligence researchers have formed a new AI start-up.

The outlet says Jeff Dean, a long time Google executive, is leading the company, and Google is backing the effort.

The report frames the launch as a move by senior AI talent to build a dedicated artificial intelligence company, supported by the parent firm that helped develop their careers.
