BasisAI co-founder investigated following complaint on BasisAI staff departure after Aicadium’s acquisition

Aicadium’s Vice President of Business Development, Liu Feng Yuan, who is also a co-founder of BasisAI, is reportedly under investigation following a whistleblower complaint. The complaint relates to staff departures from BasisAI, some of whom were later hired by SPH Media. Aicadium, a subsidiary of Temasek, has taken management action and conducted an investigation into Liu. However, no comments have been made by Aicadium or Temasek regarding the matter. Liu’s involvement in recruiting BasisAI engineers for SPH Media has raised concerns, as several employees left BasisAI after the acquisition by Aicadium was announced. BasisAI, known for its responsible AI software, was co-founded by Liu in 2018.
