Elon Musk is Hosting a AI Party to Recruit Techies and Your Grades or Degree Doesn’t Matter

February 5, 2020

Elon Musk has always been an AI enthusiast and now he is hiring fresh graduates by conducting a AI party (recruitment) at one of his homes.

Tesla is into self driving vehicles which needs some artificial intelligence geeks to work alongside Elon himself. Autopilot features are the hot cake at Tesla’s R&D center where few of the worlds best engineer’s are currently working with AI. The hardware used in this will be heavily driven by various software updates and hence the call for a party.

Tesla are hiring for world-class chip designers to join their team, based in both Palo Alto & Austin. Elon Musk took it to twitter on last Sunday and announced about the AI Party/Hackathon inviting all the engineers and AI enthusiasts to take part with Tesla artificial intelligence and autopilot team. Check out the tweet below.

“At Tesla, using AI to solve self-driving isn’t just icing on the cake, it the cake” – @lexfridman

Join AI at Tesla! It reports directly to me & we meet/email/text almost every day. My actions, not just words, show how critically I view (benign) AI.https://t.co/iF97zvYZRz

Indeed without any doubt the tweet went viral and started pouring down with all possible replies from every corner of the world. Out of all, one Twitter user replied asking if he needed a PhD in AI technology to attend the party. Check out what Elon replied:

A PhD is definitely not required. All that matters is a deep understanding of AI & ability to implement NNs in a way that is actually useful (latter point is what’s truly hard). Don’t care if you even graduated high school.

Skill set to crack the AI Party/Hackathon at Tesla:

As per another tweet from Elon Musk, “Our Neural Network is initially in Python for rapid iteration, then converted to C++/C/raw metal driver code for speed (important!). Also, tons of C++/C engineers needed for vehicle control & entire rest of car. Educational background is irrelevant, but all must pass hardcore coding test.” Although not clearly specified on where will the party hosted, but this is definitely worth a try.

Where will you work if you crack the AI Party/Hackathon?

The Tesla artificial intelligence recruits to work in the San Francisco Bay area in California or Austin, Texas, but “potentially any Tesla Gigafactory”, must be ok as tweeted by Musk. Gigafactories are the places where electric motors and battery packs are developed.

Clearly shows how important is your degree/ marks/ college!

Many of us are still thinking that good marks from good college can ensure a secured career for a long run. If you are still with such a thought process, this particular job openings from one of the best company in the world might have surely changed your thoughts about learning a skill set!
