Microsoft recruits Mustafa Suleyman, the DeepMind co-creator, to head up a new consumer AI unit

Microsoft is looking to significantly grow its consumer AI offerings and has selected DeepMind's co-creator Mustafa Suleyman to spearhead the department.

Microsoft has named Mustafa Suleyman, one of the founders of DeepMind, as the head of its consumer AI department, a significant step that could potentially accelerate the creation of AI products.

For the first time, the technology behemoth has appointed a specific head to manage this crucial sector. Suleyman, previously serving in a managerial position at competitor Inflection AI, has now joined Microsoft.

As the newly appointed executive vice president and CEO of Microsoft's newly established AI division, Suleyman will be leading the development of the Copilot assistant. The goal is to establish Microsoft as a strong contender against the major five Silicon Valley companies, especially Google, in the field of artificial intelligence.

In this endeavor, Suleyman is joined by Karén Simonyan, who is also a co-founder of Inflection AI and serves as the chief scientist in the division. Both Suleyman and Simonyan will be directly answerable to Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, emphasizing the crucial role they play in propelling Microsoft's AI projects.

The launch of Microsoft's Copilot assistant has been deemed as "chaotic", facing issues like marginal market share increases in comparison to Google's search supremacy, and safety worries related to AI tools like Copilot. Regardless of these obstacles, Microsoft continues to stand by its alliance with OpenAI, which supplies the underlying AI models for Copilot.

Suleyman's move to Microsoft involves the incorporation of numerous vital individuals from Inflection AI into the firm's AI department, highlighting Microsoft's pledge to enhance its AI engineering and research capabilities. Nadella stressed the significance of this alliance, confirming Microsoft's commitment to promoting AI innovation in cooperation with OpenAI.

This news aligns with Microsoft's forthcoming Surface event, themed "New Era of Work," where the corporation anticipates highlighting progress in AI integration throughout its offerings and solutions, such as Copilot, Windows, and Surface. As Microsoft keeps emphasizing AI evolution, Suleyman's guidance is set to have a crucial influence in molding the future of consumer AI technologies within the organization.
