Microsoft’s newly appointed CEO of Microsoft AI, Mustafa Suleyman, recently shared his ambitious plans for the company’s AI endeavors in a podcast interview with Seth Rosenberg. Suleyman, the co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection AI, emphasized his focus on “upleveling” the quality of Microsoft’s flagship AI product, Copilot.
Since joining Microsoft in March, Suleyman has been impressed by the company’s scale and reach, stating that its reputation in Silicon Valley deserves a “rethink.” He aims to further elevate Microsoft’s standing in the AI landscape through significant advancements in Copilot.
Suleyman highlighted the ongoing development of top-tier AI models in close partnership with OpenAI. He outlined the next phase of AI assistants, focusing on memory and personalization. “Your AI should remember everything about you, all your context, all your personal data, everything that you’ve said and be there to support you and be your aid and your sidekick throughout your life,” Suleyman explained.
While Copilot has gained popularity among users, some have criticized its performance compared to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Suleyman acknowledged these concerns and emphasized Microsoft’s commitment to refining Copilot’s capabilities.
This strategic move aligns with Microsoft’s broader goal of integrating AI into its suite of products and services. Suleyman’s leadership and vision are expected to play a crucial role in driving Microsoft’s AI advancements and solidifying its position as a key player in the evolving AI landscape.
