Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist, warned that US-based scientists may consider moving abroad due to funding cuts.
The Trump administration plans to reduce funding, including for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), causing concern in the scientific community.
LeCun suggested that Europe should recruit US-based scientists by providing more favorable research conditions.
He outlined seven factors that talented researchers seek in universities or research agencies, including access to top students, research funding, and freedom to pursue promising research.
