Now that there is an opportunity in front of you, you can go to the United States and other Western countries to work, and someone will take care of your family's visas, will you go?

Recently, it was rumored on the Internet that Microsoft's AI team in China was packing up and going to the United States, what is going on?

According to the revelations of multiple netizens on multiple social platforms, hundreds of employees of Microsoft's AI teams in China received emails asking if they would like to move to other regions to work, including the United States, Australia, Ireland and other countries. For example, the C+AI team plans to move to Seattle, USA, the Azure team to Australia, and so on.

At the same time, the company will be responsible for the visa of relatives and other issues, but it needs to give a response by June 7. Of course, you can choose not to go, and you will receive the corresponding severance compensation.

In this regard, some netizens who claimed to be Microsoft employees said that everyone was very confused and had no warning before. Moreover, some people believe that this is a kind of "disguised layoff", because although it is necessary to apply for visas for family members, it is not so easy to move the family. Especially for the old and the young, when it comes to parental pension, children's education, career development, etc., who can guarantee that it will be smooth and smooth when they go to a foreign country.

In response to these news, Microsoft said that the rumors of the AI team's "package to the United States" are exaggerated and untrue, and the actual situation is that some employees have the opportunity to choose international rotation, and employees can choose to accept rotation, or continue to work in their current positions.

For this statement, it gives people an inaccurate feeling, if it is an international rotation, it should be a single position or several positions, right? How can it be an overall team rotation?

In addition, China's market size is one of the best in the world, whether it is the C-end market or the B-end market, the business of artificial intelligence has huge development potential, especially in industrial production, China has the world's most complete industrial system, and the future of intelligent upgrading and transformation will contain unlimited opportunities. In addition, it also attaches importance to the development of artificial intelligence, the cultivation of talents, has a good policy environment, and the labor cost is low. Therefore, it is difficult to explain the relocation of multiple AI teams and use the rhetoric of an international rotation, and it is not very reasonable to look at it.

On the contrary, considering the long-term blockade and suppression imposed by the United States on us in the field of science and technology, especially with the rise of AI technology, the United States has been increasing its efforts in AI chips in recent years. In the face of such a background, it is difficult not to think about Microsoft's choice to transfer the AI team.

According to a person familiar with the matter, the relocation of important departments may lead to layoffs in the remaining departments, or even the closure of AI-related departments in China. In the end, if this is really the case, does this mean that AI research and development will not be carried out in China?

Of course, even if hundreds of AI talents are really moved, it will definitely not affect the development of Chinese artificial intelligence. Talents are gone, of course, it is a pity, but as the so-called old does not go to the new, our existing education model can continue to incubate a variety of scientific and technological talents. You can see what kind of achievements the mainland has made in various fields such as aviation, aerospace, military, semiconductors, computers, medical care, materials, and new energy in recent years.

In the first few days, Chang'e-6 was successfully launched, and the Shenzhou-17 astronauts returned smoothly.

Therefore, whether it is a shortage of talents or a talent leaving, there is no need to be afraid, we will be trained by ourselves. Moreover, now there are more and more talents who cherish their homeland and choose to serve the motherland.

Just now I swiped a video, this blogger is Microsoft, and he also happens to be on the transfer list, he emphasized that he wants to stay in the motherland and serve the country. I would say, that's good.

In short, the United States wants to decouple from us in science and technology, and AI will be a key area, but no matter which technology direction, you will not be able to develop into the best technology in the world without China. First of all, you may certainly be the most advanced, but probably not the one that performs best in terms of practical application. Because China is the largest market on the planet, any technology needs to meet specific application scenarios, and in the process of massive practice, it will continue to develop, iterate, upgrade and optimize. Secondly, it is precisely because of this strong market drive that the development of technology here can achieve extreme efficiency, even if it is temporarily behind, it will quickly overtake.

Finally, enjoy that the current China is no longer the China of 20 or 10 years ago, and they are free to go and do whatever they want. We welcome the willingness to pursue the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. If you want to go, we will also send a sentence, go all the way!
