Abstrakt: Google has paid $2.7 billion to rehire Noam Shazeer, an AI expert who left the company in 2021. Shazeer had developed a chatbot that Google refused to release, leading him to start his own company, Character.AI. When Character.AI began to struggle, Google swooped in and made a deal to license the company's technology, with the added condition that Shazeer would return to work for Google.

Shazeer's return to Google has positioned him as one of the leaders in the company's efforts to develop advanced AI technology. [Extracted from the article]
