  • Layoffs have made it easier to poach star AI talent, according to the CEO of Intuit.
  • That's despite a rush fueled by the success of ChatGPT, DALL-E, Midjourney, and other AI tools.
  • Sasan Goodarzi has been bullish on AI since taking the helm of Intuit in early 2019.

Employment instability at the major tech firms is making it easier to poach star talent even when they still have jobs, according to Sasan Goodarzi, chief executive of software giant Intuit.

Intuit, whose software products include email-marketing service Mailchimp, tax-filing software TurboTax, and credit service CreditKarma, has been investing heavily in artificial intelligence since Goodarzi took the top job in 2019, succeeding longtime CEO Brad Smith.
