Hello, and welcome to Decoder! This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. Today, I’m joined by Hayden Field, The Verge’s senior AI reporter. We’re talking about the AI talent wars and why some researchers are suddenly getting traded like they’re NBA superstars.

If you’ve been paying attention at all to the AI industry this past month, you’ve likely seen stories about the hiring frenzy that’s been happening at Big Tech, research labs, and AI startups. Leading the charge is Mark Zuckerberg, who’s been making some truly unprecedented job offers to try and lure top talent to Meta. 

But there’s a whole lot more to this story. Hayden and I have been reporting on this for the past several weeks to get a sense of how big some of these offers really are, why companies like Google are opting to hire instead of acquire, and what it means that some of the most sought-after AI experts in the world are no longer motivated by money alone.
