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

UK/US-based brand consultant Nancy Ampaw unpacks why professional branding is Gen Z's smartest currency in 2025 and beyond London, UK - August 25, 2025 - LinkedIn is no longer just a static job board. In 2025, it has become a strategic platform where Gen Z professionals actively shape their careers. As layoffs persist across industries and automated hiring systems filter out qualified applicants, younger workers are turning to LinkedIn to remain visible, relevant, and competitive in a changing job market. In February 2025, LinkedIn recorded 1.77 billion monthly visits. An estimated 56 percent of that traffic came from users aged 25 to 34. As the user base has shifted, so has the platform's tone and function. Today, it features more than job updates, offering marketing commentary, industry analysis, career transitions, and personal reflections from professionals navigating uncertainty. Image: https://www.abnewswire.com/upload/2025/08/879b79dfd3f4bb4e894dddc4e859296c.jpg This evolution reflects a wider dissatisfaction with traditional recruitment processes. Many candidates are overlooked by applicant tracking systems or receive no response at all. Gen Z professionals, already fluent in digital expression, are adapting by using LinkedIn as a space to demonstrate expertise while building credibility and sharing perspectives through consistent public engagement. A recent study from Morning Consult found that

New research from professional social media site LinkedIn has found a tension between optimism and frustration when it comes to using artificial intelligence at work, with 46 per cent of those surveyed feeling like learning new AI tools is taking on another job, 51 per cent believing they aren’t realising the potential of AI, though 57 per cent optimistic about it improving daily work life.  Eighty-two per cent of respondents believed trusted human insight is irreplaceable, even as AI tools become more advanced. 28 per cent felt embarrassed about their level of understanding, and 32 per cent felt nervous to talk about it.  Brendan Wong, Career Expert at LinkedIn Australia, said: “Balancing day-to-day responsibilities with the need to quickly build AI skills isn’t easy, but Australians are turning that pressure into progress.  “Through AI, everyone has access to information and it’s becoming a commodity. It’s the guidance of colleagues and mentors that helps people make confident decisions.”  The release said that professionals were still largely relying on real people for important decisions. Tools tools “like ChatGPT or Copilot” were “increasingly used for insights and to bolster productivity, they haven’t replaced human judgment.” (Microsoft is an investor in ChatGPT, and owns

The sound of students audibly sighing across Dunedin last week was recorded as a magnitude of 1.9. This disturbance comes after the most insufferable person you know is now a LinkedIn influencer. Sora Noying, a fifth-year law and politics student, who is more commonly known amongst acquaintances as “that soul-sucking bitch”, made her breakthrough post last Tuesday on the least-fun social media anyone could possibly use. Her post, entitled “My flatmates didn’t do the dishes. I put them outside their doors. Here’s what it taught me about leadership:”, garnered over 8,000 reactions, solidifying her position as the most insufferable person you know. Speaking to Critical Tribune, Sarah, her flatmate, said, “We hadn’t even finished eating; we were sitting down watching Netflix and were going to do the dishes after.”  Sora declined to comment on the matter to Critical Tribune, instead directing us to a more recent LinkedIn post. “Your ambitions are allowed to change. Your version of success is allowed to change. You get one life. Don’t spend it chasing a dream that doesn’t fit anymore."
