Why are top soccer players bought up by the richest clubs for millions of dollars, while outstanding doctors and scientists settle for modest salaries of tens of thousands of dollars a year? The staggering fees of soccer players are explained by the high competition in world soccer, but shouldn't we compete in science in the same way, attracting the best talents from all over the world? These were the questions <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/political-science/2014/jan/30/why-not-treat-scientists-like-footballers">asked</a> back in 2014 by then British parliamentary candidate Daniel Zeichner (and, let's be honest, he was far from alone). And so a new frenzy seems to have begun in Silicon Valley. Tech companies are poaching each other's best AI experts for tens, and according to some reports, hundreds of millions of dollars in a frantic race to create artificial "superintelligence." The funny thing is that no one seems to know exactly what it is. But the money being offered is already quite real.
