Dave Citron, a former senior director of product at Google DeepMind , has joined Microsoft as a corporate vice president, marking the latest high-profile departure in the escalating battle for AI talent. Citron, who will serve as the Corporate Vice President of Product at Microsoft AI , announced the move in a LinkedIn post, stating he was “energized by Microsoft AI’s pace, principles, and product craft.” The hire is a significant win for Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman , who is actively recruiting top talent from his former employer. Suleyman, a co-founder of DeepMind, has promised a startup-like atmosphere at Microsoft AI to attract leading researchers and product leaders. Citron is the latest in a series of Google and DeepMind leaders to make the move to Microsoft. Reports from The Wall Street Journal and CNBC indicate that Microsoft has hired roughly two dozen employees from Google's AI research lab in recent months, including longtime Google leaders Amar Subramanya and Adam Sadovsky, who both joined Microsoft in CVP roles this summer. Citron is no stranger to Microsoft, having spent nearly a decade at the company earlier in his career before joining Google. A 2005 graduate of the University of Washington's computer

AIM’s Post Meta’s ambitious Superintelligence Lab, built with high-profile hires from OpenAI, Google, and Apple, is now facing early turbulence. Just five months after reportedly joining on a million-dollar salary, AI scientist Rishabh Agarwal announced his departure, saying he is ready for “a different kind of risk.” “This is my last week at @AIatMeta. It was a tough decision not to continue with the new Superintelligence TBD lab, especially given the talent and compute density. But after 7.5 years across Google Brain, DeepMind, and Meta, I felt the pull to take on a different kind of risk,” Agarwal posted on X. He added that while the pitch from Mark Zuckerberg and Alexandr Wang was “incredibly compelling,” he chose to follow Zuckerberg’s own advice: “In a world that’s changing so fast, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk.” Agarwal is not the only exit. Reports suggest at least three researchers have recently left the lab, including Avi Verma and Ethan Knight, both of whom have returned to OpenAI. These departures raise questions about Meta’s ability to retain talent despite offering multi-million-dollar packages to lure top minds from rivals like Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and xAI. For Agarwal, an

Fraudulent CV-writing services are now the biggest scamming threat to online job hunters as the busy post-summer hiring season gets under way, LinkedIn has warned. The professional networking site revealed that over a third (37%) of job scams reported on the platform globally now involve offers to write or improve CVs, which give poor quality or misleading results and often use artificial intelligence tools that are available at no cost. These scams can also put personal information at risk, with CV-writing fraudsters twice as likely to ask LinkedIn members to take the conversation off the platform. The alert comes ahead of the typical annual jump in recruitment throughout September, with workers returning from their summer holidays and as new graduates enter the workforce for the first time. Hiring soars by 44% on average in September across the UK, according to LinkedIn. But the group said there are now half as many job openings per applicant compared with 2022, with recruitment becoming ever more competitive. Oscar Rodriguez, vice president of trust at LinkedIn, said: “Job hunting can be a stressful time, which can leave people vulnerable, particularly recent graduates who are entering the job market for the first time. “Scammers prey
