Mark Zuckerberg is personally reaching out to engineers at Google Deepmind, with an aim to persuade them to join Meta
Meta is actively seeking to hire AI engineers and is using a range of strategies to lure leading researchers. In addition, it is offering huge bonuses to keep existing employees who are considering moving to other competing AI firms.
It has been reported that Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, is personally reaching out to employees at Google's DeepMind by writing personal emails in an attempt to attract them to work on Meta's AI projects.
This action highlights the escalating rivalry for AI expertise, as Meta uses diverse strategies to lure leading scientists.
Sources knowledgeable about the situation informed The Information that Zuckerberg's emails highlight the importance of AI to Meta and aim to attract DeepMind employees to work for Meta. These anonymous sources disclosed that these tailored letters have successfully recruited at least one person.
Beyond Zuckerberg's personal involvement in recruitment, Meta has also adopted assertive hiring tactics in the AI field. These include skipping usual interview processes and directly offering jobs to potential hires who show promise.
Furthermore, it is reported that Meta has boosted salary incentives for its workers who showed interest in shifting to competing AI firms, in an effort to keep them.
The extremely competitive AI talent market has led to exceptional strategies from firms such as Meta. Due to a restricted number of skilled individuals, big tech companies are involved in intense hiring campaigns. This was emphasized by a Fortune report in December, which illustrated the ruthless atmosphere at major machine learning forums.
Aravind Srinivas, the CEO of an AI firm called Perplexity, shared his experience trying to hire a top-level researcher from Meta, highlighting the high demand for AI specialists.
On the "Invest Like the Best" podcast, Srinivas explained that the feedback he got highlighted the importance of having significant assets like NVIDIA's sought-after H100 GPUs, illustrating the intense competition in the AI industry.
Meta is significantly funding NVIDIA's H100 GPUs as part of its AI pursuits, aiming to purchase more than 340,000 of these units. This considerable financial commitment highlights Meta's dedication to enhancing its AI functionality across various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Meta is not holding back in its competition with opponents such as Microsoft and their ally OpenAI. The company is investing heavily in AI skills and resources, indicating an intense competition for supremacy in the AI field.
