OpenAI, a leader in artificial intelligence research and development, has reportedly hired the entire team behind Crossing Minds, a startup renowned for its AI recommendation systems for e-commerce companies. This strategic acquisition underscores the intensifying “AI talent war” that is currently gripping the global technology sector.
The co-founders of Crossing Minds expressed their enthusiasm about joining OpenAI, stating that the move aligns perfectly with their overarching mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) ultimately benefits all of humanity.
This development follows closely on the heels of rival Meta’s recruitment of four key OpenAI researchers, highlighting the fierce competition among tech giants to secure top-tier AI talent. Reports have also surfaced suggesting that Meta is offering substantial signing bonuses to attract researchers, a claim that some OpenAI researchers have reportedly disputed.
The aggressive talent acquisition environment has also impacted other major players, with a key vice president from Amazon Web Services’ AI division reportedly departing for another company amidst the competitive landscape.
