In recent months, Microsoft attracted about two dozen employees from the Google DeepMind research laboratory, sources report. Among them are high -ranking engineers and managers.
So, Amar Sumraman, who worked in Google for 16 years, recently became the vice president of Microsoft AI. He was engaged in the development of Gemini assistant in Google, and now works on Copilot and Bing.
Another experienced employee of Google Deepmind, Adam Sadovsky, also moved to Microsoft, where he now occupies a leading position. Earlier this month, Sonal Gupta and Jonas Rottfuss from Deepmind also joined the Microsoft AI team.
