Sundar Pichai's Google Knocks Biden's Door For Immigration Reform To Draw Global AI Talent
Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google has urged the U.S. government to update its immigration policies to attract more AI and tech talent from abroad.
Alphabet Inc. 's（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOG）（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOGL）谷歌已敦促美國政府更新其移民政策，以吸引更多來自國外的人工智能和科技人才。
The tech giant warns that the current policies could lead to a loss of valuable talent in the AI and cybersecurity sectors.
這家科技巨頭警告說，目前的政策可能導致人工智能和網絡安全領域的寶貴人才流失。
What Happened: Sundar Pichai-led Google has called for a revamp of the U.S. immigration policies, particularly the Schedule A list, which identifies occupations with insufficient American workers.
發生了什麼：桑達爾·皮查伊領導的谷歌呼籲修改美國的移民政策，特別是附表A清單，該清單確定了美國工人不足的職業。
The company suggests that this list should be updated more frequently and include roles in AI and cybersecurity, The Verge reported.
據The Verge報道，該公司建議更頻繁地更新該清單，幷包括人工智能和網絡安全領域的職位。
Google's Head of Government Affairs and Public Policy, Karan Bhatia, emphasized that the US faces a global shortage of AI talent, pointing out that the occupations on Schedule A have not been updated for 20 years.
谷歌政府事務和公共政策負責人卡蘭·巴蒂亞強調說，美國面臨全球人工智能人才短缺的問題，他指出，附表A中的職業已經有20年沒有更新了。
The company also highlighted the lengthy process of obtaining permanent labor certification (PERM) and the need for a more efficient system to attract and retain top talent.
該公司還強調了獲得永久勞工認證（PERM）的漫長過程，以及需要更有效的系統來吸引和留住頂尖人才。
"There's wide recognition that there is a global shortage of talent in AI, but the fact remains that the US is one of the harder places to bring talent from abroad, and we risk losing out on some of the most highly sought-after people in the world," Bhatia said.
巴蒂亞說：“人們普遍認識到，全球人工智能人才短缺，但事實仍然是，美國是更難從國外引進人才的國家之一，我們有可能流失一些世界上最受追捧的人。”
The letter from Google to the Department of Labor comes at a time when the U.S. is experiencing a shortage of AI specialists. This shortage has led to fierce competition among tech companies, with some resorting to unconventional hiring practices.
谷歌給勞工部的信是在美國面臨人工智能專家短缺的時候發出的。這種短缺導致了科技公司之間的激烈競爭，有些公司採取了非常規的招聘方式。

Why It Matters: The shortage of AI talent in the US has been a recurring theme in the tech industry. Despite producing a significant number of AI professionals, the US still faces a shortage of specialists in this field.
爲何重要：美國的人工智能人才短缺一直是科技行業反覆出現的主題。儘管培養了大量的人工智能專業人員，但美國仍然面臨該領域的專家短缺問題。
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, too, underscored the need for an "easier and simplified" legal immigration process for skilled individuals.
特斯拉公司首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克也強調需要爲技術人員提供 “更輕鬆和簡化” 的合法移民程序。
Google's call for immigration policy reform also comes in the wake of efforts by other tech giants to attract AI talent. Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, has reportedly been reaching out to AI researchers at Google's DeepMind with personal emails and offering jobs without interviews.
谷歌呼籲進行移民政策改革也是在其他科技巨頭努力吸引人工智能人才之後發出的。例如，據報道，Meta首席執行官馬克·扎克伯格一直在通過個人電子郵件與谷歌DeepMind的人工智能研究人員接觸，並在不進行面試的情況下提供工作。
Earlier, in a leaked email, Pichai expressed his anxiety about losing key talent to rivals, especially Apple. This concern has been further exacerbated by the US's strict immigration policies, which have made it difficult for companies to attract and retain AI talent.
此前，在一封泄露的電子郵件中，皮查伊對關鍵人才流失給競爭對手，尤其是蘋果表示擔憂。美國嚴格的移民政策進一步加劇了這種擔憂，這使公司難以吸引和留住人工智能人才。
