Microsoft has recently lured away at least 24 key employees from DeepMind, notably including Amar Subramanian, the ex-engineering head of Google's Gemini chatbot. This strategic maneuver aims to bolster Microsoft's talent pool in the AI sector, further intensifying the fierce competition for top talent with Google. Amidst escalating salaries in the tech industry, elite AI professionals have emerged as the prime target in the battle for supremacy among leading corporations. While companies like Microsoft streamline their structures and concentrate resources to spearhead AI advancements, ordinary employees find themselves under the threat of job cuts.
