Welcome to Editor's Picks.
We've chosen an unmissable article from the latest edition of The Economist.
Please do have a listen.
Pity OpenAI's HR Department Since the start of the year, the maker of ChatGPT,
the hit artificial intelligence or AI chatbot, has lost about a dozen top researchers.
The biggest name was Ilya Sutskova,
a co-founder responsible for many of the startup's big breakthroughs,
who announced his resignation on May 14th.
He did not give a reason,
though many suspect that it is linked to his attempt to oust Sam Altman,
the firm's boss, last December.
Whatever the motivation, the exodus is not unusual at OpenAI.
According to one estimate,
of the 100 odd AI experts the firm has hired since 2016, about half have left.
That reflects not Mr Altman's leadership, but a broader trend in the technology industry.
One that OpenAI itself precipitated.
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022,
the market for AI labour has been transformed.
