What a splash! Microsoft announced earlier today that it has hired one of the most prominent figures in the AI revolution: Mustafa Suleyman. Suleyman co-founded the British AI research lab DeepMind, which Google acquired for £400 million in 2014 (~$656 million).
Suleyman will run a new division called Microsoft AI, overseeing its Copilot and Bing products, among others. Microsoft has become a major player in generative AI through its $13 billion investment in ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, whose deep-learning language models now fuel Microsoft's own AI offerings. He will focus on advancing consumer products — in other words, getting you to use this cutting-edge tech.
