Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence firm, xAI, hired senior leaders Andrew Milich and Jason Ginsberg from AI-powered code editor startup Cursor. Both executives will report directly to Musk.
The appointments aim to bolster xAI’s capabilities in AI-assisted software development. This move supports Musk’s objective for xAI to achieve parity with the coding abilities of industry rivals.
The talent acquisition underscores intensifying competition among major AI labs, including Google and Microsoft-backed OpenAI. These firms are racing to develop the most advanced coding tools for software engineers.
