Baidu attracts global artificial intelligence talents high salary shocked foreign media

Recently, according to foreign media reports such as Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal and other foreign media, Baidu will set up a second R&D facility in Silicon Valley, overtaking to seize the new frontier of artificial intelligence technology, and plans to add 150 employees in the United States. If scientists are willing to travel from the United States to China and go to Baidu for artificial intelligence research, Baidu is even willing to pay 15% more to compete with global AI giants such as Facebook and Google to grab talent in the artificial intelligence field. It is reported that Baidu has prepared a new campus in the United States for the construction of its second research institute in the United States. The original Baidu Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is located in Sunnyvale, California and has approximately 200 Chinese and foreign employees. It is about 1 mile away from the new research facility. "In 3 years, we moved home 3 times. Because we are growing very fast, the original place is not enough." According to Baidu, Baidu has begun to further increase investment in the United States, and has been attracting worldwide Talent, speed up the process of internationalization. In response, Baidu said, "Baidu will increasingly focus on global talent in its global strategy." After Baidu's chief artificial intelligence scientist, Nanda, announced his resignation, Zhang Yaqin, the former head of Microsoft’s Asia R&D and current president of Baidu America, took over Baidu’s two R&D institutions in Silicon Valley. In an interview, he said that the U.S. research department will have a unified layout in terms of research, technology development, and business services. U.S. research will play an increasingly important role in Baidu's overall technology strategy, product strategy, and global strategy. As Baidu invests more and more in AI, Baidu will continue to support US research, and the business department will also place more R&D work on US research.

These products and technologies have enabled Baidu to successfully rank among the world's top echelons of AI and have taken the lead in competing with domestic Internet giants such as Tencent and Alibaba. However, artificial intelligence research is still in the development stage in the Chinese market. Bloomberg believes that most of the artificial intelligence talents come from abroad, including Stanford University and other famous American universities. Therefore, Baidu still needs to recruit professionals from overseas to respond to Facebook. And Google's expansion in the field of artificial intelligence. Zhang Yaqin also indicated that he hopes to spend more time on US research in the future. Baidu will not only regard USR as a Silicon Valley R&D center, but also serve as a base for global talents and a base for R&D. In the future, US-based research will continue to carry Baidu's dream of changing the world with technology, attract more outstanding global elites, and exert greater value and greater influence in the forward-looking technology field.
