(Original title: Google, Amazon, Facebook compete for AI talent, guess which company is the primary target?)
The Information recently reported that Microsoft has become the company with the most frequent visits and the highest success rate. The report wrote: "In the technology industry, almost every company is searching for talents with AI technology and experience, and they may all want to go and see Microsoft."
Citing the latest data, The Camp Nformation said that Microsoft has become the largest "crop" target for competitors Google, Amazon and Facebook. In the past six years, the AI ​​talents dug by these three companies from Microsoft accounted for the proportion of AI talents in the entire company, with the lowest 5% and the highest 9%.
To date, Microsoft has become the largest source of AI talent for these companies. Of Facebook’s AI talent, 7% came from Google and 9% came from Microsoft. This is already the closest number.

Microsoft has long been a big player in the AI ​​space and has launched some powerful products such as Cortana, an intelligent voice assistant. However, it seems that Microsoft has not received as much attention as its competitors.
Microsoft's deep reserves of AI talent have made it the biggest "edge" for its competitors. 3% of Facebook’s AI talent comes from Yahoo. Of the Google’s AI talent, 2.6% came from Amazon and 5.3% came from Microsoft.
Amazon.com's Skype is 6%. It comes from Microsoft, 4.8% from Google, and 1.3% from Facebook.
Software engineering, especially AI, is actually a very fiercely competitive field. The total number of talented people is relatively small, and there are not many people willing to move frequently.
These data show that Microsoft's AI talent reserve is very deep. This is of course, Microsoft is one of the world's largest technology companies, with approximately 113,000 employees.
In the report, Information said that another fact is that companies such as Google and Facebook continue to receive attention. On the one hand, this data is also an indicator of “poachabilityâ€, or rather a signal: which company’s employees are looking for new job opportunities.
As early as July 2011, Microsoft's brain drain has been noticed by the media. Forbes's article entitled "Winners And Losers In Silicon Valley's War For Talent" gives this talent flow chart. In the two-way flow of talent between Apple, LinkedIn (acquired by Microsoft), Yahoo, Facebook, and Google, Microsoft has become the company with the least influx of talent from its competitors, but with the most outflows.
Attack from Baidu and Tencent: Dig big people and drive the Institute to Microsoft's doorstep
There is currently no specific data describing China's AI companies, and in particular, how many of the AI ​​talents represented by Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent are from Microsoft. However, there are many top players in this direction.
Such as Lu Qi.
Lu Qi is one of the high-profile Microsoft executives. He and another executive vice president of Microsoft, Shen Xiangyang mentioned above, are the Chinese who currently hold the highest management positions in the US technology industry. Since joining Microsoft in 2008, Lu Qi has been in charge of Microsoft's application and service department. He has been responsible for the research and development of Office, Office 365, Skype, Bing, Yammer and many other businesses. Microsoft's search engine is exactly what Lu Qi personally created. In the senior management circle of Microsoft, Lu Qi reported directly to CEO Satya Nadella. During several high-level adjustments by Microsoft, Lu Qi’s position has always been very strong.
Lu Qi was born in 1961. He graduated from Fudan University and Carnegie Mellon University in the United States and holds a Ph.D. in computer science. Later, he worked at IBM and Yahoo successively and served as senior vice president of Yahoo. In 2007, Lu Qi joined Microsoft, responsible for Microsoft's Internet business, and personally created Microsoft's Bing search engine.
In September 2016, Bloomberg received confirmation from Microsoft that Lu Qi had left Microsoft. The reason is that he was injured when riding a few months ago and now his injuries have intensified. On January 17, 2017, Baidu officially announced the appointment of Lu Qi as President and Chief Operating Officer of Baidu Group. During this period, there were no shortages of reports from the industry that Tencent was also in contact with Lu Qi and hoped to bring Lu Qi to the company.
On April 2, 2017, at the Camp T Leaders Summit held in Shenzhen, Li Yanhong, Ma Huateng and Shen Xiangyang sat together and discussed artificial intelligence. When talking about AI talents, Ma Huateng said that talent is crucial. Tencent has attracted a lot of AI talents in one year and has set up a lab in Seattle. “Many people at Microsoft are reluctant to leave, so we have to set up next.â€
In response, Shen Xiangyang, Microsoft’s AI leader and global executive vice president, jokingly responded, Baidu and Tencent are now doing research institutes. This is a good thing – but one thing is not so good, is to drive the Institute to Microsoft’s home. At the door.
According to the latest news, Microsoft’s senior AI researcher Yu Dong has joined Tencent’s core AI technology department. Tencent AI Lab official website, Dr. Yu Dong joined Tencent in 2017, is currently an outstanding scientist and deputy general manager of Tencent artificial intelligence laboratory. Prior to joining Tencent, he worked for Microsoft Corporation for 19 years and was a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. He is a senior expert in the direction of speech recognition and deep learning. He has published two monographs and more than 160 papers. He is the inventor of more than 50 granted patents and more than 10 pending patents, and the initiator of deep learning open source software CNTK. One of the main authors.
In China, Microsoft Research Asia becomes an AI talent "Huangpu Military Academy"
In China’s AI development, Microsoft also played an important role as a talent provider. Its Microsoft Research Institute in Beijing, China, was called the “Huangpu Military Academy†of China’s Internet. From there, many outstanding talents have emerged, almost propped up. At present, China's artificial intelligence industry's "half of the country."
The above is an incomplete list and is for illustration only.
Microsoft AI Strategic Adjustment: Will Continue to Attract More Talent
Microsoft's latest internal talent structure at AI can be traced back to September 30, 2016, when Microsoft announced the formation of a 5000-person engineering and R&D team focused on artificial intelligence. The newly formed division Microsoft AI and Research Group will be led by Microsoft executive vice president Shen Xiangyang. In addition to Shen Yang’s previously led team, several other Microsoft engineering teams will also join the new AI R&D team, including the information platform, Cortana and Bing, and the Ambient Computing and Robotics team of David Ku et al. The Microsoft AI R&D team formed by these teams will include the AI ​​product engineering department, basic and applied research laboratories, and the new experience and new technology department (NExT).
At the time, Shen Xiangyang stated in his blog that the new team "will enable Microsoft to have the ability to create truly intelligent systems and products. I believe we have some of the best artificial intelligence talent on the planet and we will continue to attract more talents ".
For the development of artificial intelligence companies, the importance of top talent is beyond doubt. It can almost determine the success or failure of a company.
Obviously, Microsoft is ready for long-term combat on AI: Last month, Microsoft CEO Sayta Nadella warned “AI fever†in a public speech, saying that this is a very long road and he also put it AI is called the ultimate breakthrough.
