NeurIPS 2023, a major AI research conference, transformed into a major recruitment event amidst the AI boom. With over 16,000 attendees and a record 13,330 paper submissions, the focus shifted from presenting new research to talent acquisition. Big Tech, startups, and financial firms aggressively sought AI professionals, offering substantial salaries, including OpenAI’s $10 million packages. Activities included networking events and job listings on LinkedIn. Despite U.S.-China tech tensions, collaboration continued, with Chinese firms actively recruiting. This shift reflects AI’s growing mainstream influence and the escalating demand for AI expertise.
