Mark Zuckerberg is personally reaching out to engineers at Google Deepmind in an attempt to lure them to Meta.
Meta is actively seeking to hire AI engineers and using a range of strategies to draw in leading researchers. Additionally, it's offering substantial rewards to keep existing employees who are considering moving to competing AI firms.
It has been reported that Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has personally taken the initiative to attract talent from Google's DeepMind. He has been writing personal emails to convince them to join Meta's AI initiatives.
This action highlights the escalating rivalry for AI expertise, as Meta utilizes different strategies to lure premier researchers.
Sources in the know told The Information that Zuckerberg's emails highlight the importance of AI to Meta and are designed to attract DeepMind staff to Meta. These sources, wishing to remain anonymous, disclosed that at least one person has been recruited via these tailored messages.
Apart from Zuckerberg's personal involvement, Meta has also adopted assertive hiring tactics in the field of AI. This includes foregoing standard interviews and directly offering jobs to potential prospects.
Additionally, it's been reported that Meta has boosted salary incentives for its staff who showed interest in moving to competing AI firms, as a way to keep them onboard.
The intense competition in the AI talent market has led companies such as Meta to take exceptional steps. The scarcity of skilled professionals in this field has resulted in tech behemoths engaging in aggressive hiring campaigns. This was evidenced by a report in Fortune last December, which shed light on the ruthless atmosphere at significant machine learning conferences.
Considering the high demand for AI specialists, Aravind Srinivas, the head of AI firm Perplexity, shared his experience trying to hire a top-level researcher from Meta.
On the "Invest Like the Best" podcast, Srinivas revealed that the feedback he got highlighted the importance of significant resources, like NVIDIA's highly sought-after H100 GPUs, underlining the intense competition in the AI field.
In an effort to strengthen its AI operations, Meta is pouring substantial resources into NVIDIA's H100 GPUs, intending to purchase more than 340,000 units. This major investment highlights Meta's dedication to enhance AI functionalities across its platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
In its quest to outperform competitors such as Microsoft and its ally OpenAI, Meta is leaving no stone unturned in its hunt for AI expertise and assets, indicating a heated fight for supremacy in the AI arena.
