It's the new blueprint for Big Tech companies scrambling for dominance in artificial intelligence: Hire the cofounders of a high-profile AI startup along with some of its staff.
The latest example came on Friday when Google said the cofounders of AI chatbot startup Character AI and some members of its research team would join its already substantial AI efforts. The announcement is a lot like what Microsoft did in March when it hired a big part of the workforce at AI startup Inflection, including CEO Mustafa Suleyman, and what Amazon did in June with AI company Adept.
