In the months leading up to the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI hired at least five Google AI engineers who were instrumental in developing the chatbot. Writes about it The Information.
According to the publication, the startup continues to hire ex-employees of the tech giant.
In January, a researcher joined the AI Lab to help create a type of machine learning model for the Google search engine. Later, OpenAI integrated a similar algorithm into ChatGPT.
Over the past few weeks, the startup has hired at least four more employees of the corporation from the artificial intelligence division of Brain.
OpenAI names ex-Google engineers in publications about running ChatGPT.
As of September 2022, at least six employees from the Brain division and the DeepMind AI Lab have moved to OpenAI, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
One of them was Jacob Devlin, who helped create the BERT language model. Another, Alexander Passos, was a senior engineer at Brain.
Sources of the publication suggested that the departure of employees from Google is associated with excessive bureaucracy in the company.
According to one of the former Brain engineers, AI managers deprived some teams of the resources to train language models.
An active employee of the corporation noted that an attempt to introduce a new product with artificial intelligence usually faces a lot of bureaucratic obstacles.
In 2022, Google engineers had to request access to AI image generators to prevent “misuse”. According to one employee, they were required to sign a waiver freeing the tech giant from liability for content generated by the system.
Since the end of 2022, the demands on Brain engineers have increased and the pace of work has increased, sources said. However, due to growing competition, management began to agree to compromises in order to accelerate the release of AI solutions.
According to the publication, in early February, during a call with investors, Google CEO Sundar Pichai promised to integrate artificial intelligence into all products, including Search and Gmail.
In November 2022, OpenAI released the ChatGPT chatbot.
In January 2023, Microsoft made a multi-billion dollar deal with OpenAI. The tech giant has integrated a chatbot into the Bing search engine.
In February, Google gave a limited number of testers access to the conversational AI service Bard.
