Microsoft Poaches More Google DeepMind AI Talent as It Beefs up Copilot
REDMOND, WASHINGTON, JUL 22 – Microsoft has hired at least 24 former Google DeepMind AI experts under Mustafa Suleyman, intensifying the competition for talent in the generative AI sector amid rapid market growth.
- Microsoft hired at least 24 engineers, researchers, and specialists from Google DeepMind to join its AI team led by Mustafa Suleyman in recent months.
- This recruitment surge follows Suleyman's 2022 departure from Google, founding Inflection, and his 2024 move to Microsoft with several former Inflection colleagues.
- Among new hires are Amar Subramanya, who joined as corporate vice president on July 22 after 16 years at Google, plus Sonal Gupta, Adam Sadovsky, and Jonas Rothfuss in technical roles.
- Earlier this month, Microsoft reduced its workforce by about 9,000 people, representing approximately 4% of its global staff, prompting discussions on managing cost reductions while continuing to recruit AI talent.
- This talent migration illustrates an intensifying AI war among tech giants, with Microsoft strengthening its consumer AI group under Suleyman's leadership to compete with Google and others.
