Nathan Chen, a 17-year-old AI researcher who spent less than a year at Moonshot AI, has announced he is leaving the Beijing-based start-up for the United States, the South China Morning Post reports.
Why it mattersThe report says Chen played an instrumental role in several core innovations at Moonshot, but does not identify his next destination. His move comes amid competition for AI talent between China and Silicon Valley. The next question is where his work goes from here.
Discuss: Should young AI researchers be free to follow opportunity across borders, or should governments treat their expertise as a strategic asset?
