"Elon Musk's Battle to Retain AI Engineers Amid Talent War"

Elon Musk announced that Tesla is increasing compensation for its AI engineers in response to aggressive recruitment efforts by OpenAI, particularly targeting talent behind the creation of ChatGPT. Musk revealed that Tesla's machine-learning scientist had left for his AI startup, xAI, due to OpenAI's successful poaching efforts. The demand for AI engineers has surged, driven by the rapid growth of generative AI technology, leading to a talent war in the industry. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but later left the board, launched xAI as an alternative to develop "maximum truth-seeking AI" amid his legal dispute with OpenAI and its CEO.
