The Fight for AI Talent

To attract workers with generative AI expertise, tech companies increasingly are offering million-dollar annual compensation packages with accelerated stock-vesting schedules. Others are poaching entire engineering teams. This comes as other areas of the tech industry have seen major layoffs. In high demand are those who have experience training large language models (LLMs) and AI salespeople. SBT Industries' Justin Kinsey said some candidates can be persuaded to switch companies with promises of autonomy over their work.

  Avi Wigderson Receives ACM A.M. Turing Award for Groundbreaking Insights on Randomness Leading Theoretical Computer Scientist Cited for Field-Defining Contributions New York, NY, April 10, 2024  – ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, today named Avi Wigderson as recipient of the 2023 ACM A.M. Turing Award for foundational contributions to the theory of computation, including reshaping our understanding of the role of randomness in computation, and for his decades of intellectual leadership in theoretical computer science. Wigderson is the Herbert H. Maass Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He has been a leading figure in areas including computational complexity theory, algorithms and optimization, randomness and cryptography, parallel and distributed computation, combinatorics, and graph theory, as well as connections between theoretical computer science and mathematics and science. The ACM A.M. Turin...

AI achieves silver-medal standard solving International Mathematical Olympiad problems Breakthrough models AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 solve advanced reasoning problems in mathematics Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new frontiers in science and technology. We’ve made great progress building AI systems that help mathematicians discover new insights, novel algorithms and answers to open problems. But current AI systems still struggle with solving general math problems because of limitations in reasoning skills and training data. Today, we present AlphaProof, a new reinforcement-learning based system for formal math reasoning, and AlphaGeometry 2, an improved version of our geometry-solving system. Together, these systems solved four out of six problems from this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), achieving the same level as a silver medalist in the competition for the first time.
