Among major technology companies, AI has become a hot topic recently as the field of artificial intelligence is expanding. As a result, skilled and talented AI experts are in high demand. Recent events are very important to prove those claims. What happened was those three engineers, two of them from IITs, were highly sought after by IT Giants in the United States.

The news said that Google and Apple had a disagreement over the two IIT engineers who would help them expand their AI offering. According to the report, Google and Apple are fighting to hire three key engineers, Srinivasan Venkatachary, Steven Baker and Anand Shukla.

These three developers played a critical role in modernizing Apple's search technology and used to work for Apple. They joined Google last year to work on Large Language Models (LLMs), the core technology behind chatbots like Microsoft's acquired ChatGPT.

According to the report, which cites two people who have spoken to Venkatachary, Google CEO Sundar Pichai "freed" the three to work for his company, while Apple CEO Tim Cook "tried to keep them stay".

Shukla received his B.Tech in Computer Science from IIT-Kanpur in 2001, and attended the University of Illinois for his master's program. He founded Laserlike Inc. with Venkatachary and Baker after spending more than 12 years working there.

Laserlike Inc. Was later purchased from apples. It joined apple in 2018 and stayed there for more than four years before switching Google and November of the last year.

Venkatachary graduated from IIT-Madras in 1996 with a degree in Computer Science. He attended Washington University in St. Louis to earn his master's degree in computer science. Like Shukla, Venkatachary spent six years at Google before spending four years at Apple. He returned to Google as vice president of engineering in October.

Along with Venkatachary and Shukla, Baker also left Apple and joined Google. Their decision to return to Google greatly angered Apple, which is developing its search strategy with Google, according to Information.
