Microsoft’s artificial intelligence group has been growing under Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of the DeepMind research lab Google acquired years ago.

Among new hires, former Google Gemini engineering lead Amar Subramanya joined Microsoft AI as corporate vice-president.

Microsoft has recently recruited approximately two dozen employees from Google's DeepMind AI research lab, bolstering its Copilot project.

Microsoft has hired around two dozen engineers from Google DeepMind to strengthen its AI team and accelerate Copilot development, intensifying the talent war among tech giants.

Meta has reportedly hired three more AI researchers from Google DeepMind, according to The Information. Microsoft, too, has added several former DeepMind staff in recent months. The growing competition among tech giants highlights the race to secure top AI talent and strengthen their artificial intelligence capabilities.

Late last year, Dominic King and Christopher Kelly were poached by Suleyman from DeepMind to run a new AI health unit that has already developed an AI medical system that it says is four times more successful than human doctors at diagnosing complex ailments.

OpenAI and Google's AI models achieved impressive results in a difficult math competition, but disputed how the other got their score.

Chain-of-thought monitorability could improve generative AI safety by assessing how models come to their conclusions and spotting the "intent to misbehave.”
