Microsoft to pursue superintelligence after OpenAI deal
- Microsoft announced the MAI Superintelligence Team on Thursday, led by Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, to pursue Humanist Superintelligence after limits from the OpenAI deal.
- Microsoft has pursued AI self-sufficiency, hiring Mustafa Suleyman and Inflection employees last year, investing in AI chips and recruiting researchers from Google DeepMind, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic.
- The MAI Superintelligence Team will pursue useful companions for education and narrow areas in medicine and renewable energy, Suleyman wrote, 'We are doing this to solve real concrete problems and do it in such a way that it remains grounded and controllable.'
- Taking steps to diversify, Microsoft has reduced dependence on OpenAI while still using its models in Bing and Copilot and running OpenAI workloads on Azure with a $135 billion equity stake.
- Amid industry moves, Microsoft followed Meta by starting its own team four months later, framing its drive as `humanist` while rivals like Safe Superintelligence and Anthropic pursue controllable AI.
