  • Alphabet Shares Plunge 5% on AI Talent Exodus and Market Concerns
    June 23, 2026, 5:39 AM EDT. Shares of Alphabet, Google's parent company, plunged 5% in their worst decline in over a year amid escalating concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) developments and high-profile researcher departures. Notably, Noam Shazeer, VP of engineering and co-lead of Google's Gemini AI models, left for OpenAI, while DeepMind's John Jumper, a Nobel laureate and AlphaFold co-creator, joined Anthropic. The selloff followed comments from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella describing the AI market as commoditized, raising investor doubts about Alphabet's heavy AI investments-totaling $141 billion raised since October-and their potential to yield a competitive edge. Additionally, Google faced service outages on Gmail and YouTube during the trading day.
