The war for AI talent
OpenAI, the creator of the revolutionary AI chatbot ChatGPT, has lost nearly a dozen top researchers since the start of the year. The most notable departure is co-founder Ilya Sutskever, responsible for many of the startup’s big breakthroughs. Who announced his resignation on May 14th and started Safe Superintelligence Inc., a new venture focused on developing AGI(artificial general intelligence-on par with humans) system with safety in mind.
This is not unique to OpenAI, but rather reflects a broader trend in the tech industry. The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 has transformed the market for AI labor, with an estimated 20,000 companies in the west now hiring AI experts. The rapid advances in machine learning and the potential for a "platform shift"—tech-speak for the creation of an all-new layer of technology, have created a frenzy for top AI talent.
The most sought-after are researchers, like Sutskever and Google's Jeff Dean, courted by tech giants like Microsoft and Google, who are willing to offer seven-figure pay packages, to build, cutting-edge AI models. Some are even being hired without interviews or as entire teams, as seen in Microsoft's recruitment of Inflection AI's staff, including its co-founder Mustafa Suleyman.
The demand for AI skills is skyrocketing, with one in 40 software developer vacancies in America now requiring skills related to "generative" AI, according to Indeed. AI engineers are being asked to choose which AI system to use and how to connect it to a company's data.
The exodus is not limited to OpenAI, as all eight authors of the influential 2017 paper "Attention is all you need"(that provided the algorithmic underpinnings of generative AI) have left Google, with seven founding their own firms and one joining OpenAI. The lure of financial rewards and the potential for ownership stakes in successful startups is proving too great for many AI wizards to resist….

Google brings its Gemini AI to Gmail
In a major update, Google is rolling out its Gemini AI side panel to Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive, promising to transform the way users work and communicate. This innovative feature is designed to assist with email writing, thread summarization, and information retrieval, making it a game-changer for Google Workspace customers.
With Gemini AI in Gmail, users can get help drafting emails, receive suggested responses, and even ask questions to uncover specific information from their inbox or Google Drive files. The AI-powered side panel can provide prompts to get users started, but they can also ask their own questions, such as "What was the PO number for my company?" or "How much did the company spend on the last marketing event?"
It's worth noting that these features are only available to Google Workspace customers with a Gmail Business or Enterprise add-on, a Gemini Education or Education Premium add-on, or a Google One AI Premium subscription.
The Gemini side panel is not limited to Gmail, as it will also be integrated into Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. In Docs, it can….

Amazon is secretly working on a ChatGPT rival
In a bold move to compete with OpenAI's revolutionary ChatGPT, Amazon is secretly working on an AI chatbot codenamed "Metis," Business Insider has learned. The project, inspired by the Greek goddess of wisdom, is designed to be accessed via a web browser, similar to other AI assistants.
According to sources familiar with the project and an internal document obtained by BI, Metis is powered by Amazon's internal AI model, Olympus, a more powerful version of the publicly available Titan AI model. This advanced technology is expected to enable Metis to function as an AI agent, capable of automating and performing complex tasks based on existing data. Potential use cases for Metis include turning on lights and booking flights, making it a highly versatile and convenient tool for users.
This development is a significant step for Amazon, which has been lagging behind in the AI race. Its Titan AI model is considered less powerful than its rivals, and Amazon Q, a chatbot targeting corporate customers, received mixed reviews.
Metis is part of Amazon's AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) team, led by Rohit Prasad, the company's head scientist and senior vice president. Last year, CEO Andy Jassy announced that this team would report directly to him….
