Nobel laureate John Jumper has joined Anthropic from Google DeepMind, the latest high-profile move in a wave of departures across the AI industry.
Jumper, who led work on AlphaFold and won a Nobel Prize, is the second major DeepMind scientist in a week to leave for a competitor.
His hiring is part of Anthropic’s continued recruitment drive as leading labs compete for elite research talent.
The move adds to concerns at DeepMind over retaining its most prominent scientists amid an intensifying talent contest.
