Goldman Sachs has lost over 100 AI staffers to rivals such as Morgan Stanley and Citigroup in the past year, making it the bank with the highest net outflow of AI talent among its biggest competitors. The data compiled by consultancy Evident shines a light on the fiercely competitive landscape for AI talent, with employees in these roles being among the highest paid at any company. While the departures represent a small fraction of the thousands of AI staff employed at banks, it highlights the challenge of attracting and retaining top talent. The report also states that Goldman Sachs has been making investments and hiring to attract AI talent, but the net outflow continues. Other banks, such as JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, have also experienced both gains and losses in AI talent. The research emphasizes the importance of nurturing and retaining AI-talented individuals in addition to hiring them.
