Mercor CEO: US immigration hurdles are blocking top AI talent
Brendan Foody, the CEO of Mercor AI, has slammed current US immigration rules, stating that the government is effectively undermining the nation's AI sector. Foody noted that the company could double its headcount of top-tier AI researchers right now if the system wasn't so flawed. He further explained that current policies are stopping experts from joining American firms. These comments arrive as the government continues to implement tougher immigration and visa restrictions.
