According to reports, DeepMind, the artificial intelligence division under Google, has adopted an “aggressive” anti-competition agreement to prevent employees from moving to competitors, stipulating that some employees in the UK are not allowed to work for competitors within one year after leaving their jobs. During this period, although employees are not required to work, DeepMind will still pay them a salary, which is equivalent to a long period of paid vacation. However, this approach has left some researchers feeling marginalized because they are unable to participate in the rapid development of the AI industry. In the US, the Federal Trade Commission banned most non-compete agreements last year, but that rule doesn't apply to DeepMind's London headquarters.
