AI companies have experienced a rapid loss of personnel in recent weeks, with major teams and executives departing or being restructured. Half of xAI's founding team has left, with some members leaving voluntarily and others exiting through restructuring. OpenAI has undergone internal shakeups, including the disbanding of its mission alignment team and the firing of a policy executive who opposed an "adult mode" feature. Simultaneously, billion-dollar bets on fusion and robotics continue, driving significant capital flows. The combination of talent departures and heavy investment is reshaping organizational priorities, safety efforts, and competitive dynamics across the AI sector.
