Alphabet’s Verily Cancels Device Drama, Goes Full Robot Brain
Alphabet’s life sciences division, Verily, has suddenly ghosted its entire devices program, dropping the team like a bad beta test as AI and data infrastructure hog the spotlight. Analysts weren’t expecting this device Exodus, especially since Verily has been toying with wearables and health gadgets like a mad scientist with a caffeine overdose. Now, instead of blinking lights and gadgets, Verily is betting their chips on AI algorithms that actually talk the talk — or at least data infrastructure that pretends it’s smart. Somewhere in Mountain View, engineers quietly updated their resumes while whispering, 'At least AI can’t fire itself… yet.'
