Inside the AI talent wars: Tech companies are ransacking university AI programs at Stanford, MIT, and Cornell in search of rare talent
Now students and recent graduates are embracing AI as the place to be, with many of them hoping to be an early employee at the next great technology disruptor.
For their part, students like Eyzaguirre must consider if they're willing to turn their backs on the virtuous world of academia for a place in Silicon Valley's promised land.Hugging Face, a startup that offers ready-to-use machine-learning models, got a headstart on the recruiting cycle.where it gave virtual demos to more than a thousand computer-science students around the world.
For the determined few who continue in academia to complete their Ph.D, their expertise makes them a headhunter's ultimate prize. Some of these companies are so eager to hire postgrads that they allow them to work part time while they continue their studies, said Weinberger, who also works part time as a researcher at the call-center automation startup, Asapp. Michael Shamos, the director of the AI and innovation master's program at Carnegie Mellon, said he's seen such part-time offers surpass $350,000 in base salary.
"All AI companies have roles for people with Ph.D.s and without," said Attaluri, the soon-to-be researcher at DeepMind. It's up to students to decide, she said,"how you want to spend the next five years."The mad scramble for AI talent is partly driven by corporate leaders' fear of falling behind rather than a drive to power new tech advancements.
