Microsoft’s Suleyman to lead new superintelligence team, Semafor reports

Microsoft (MSFT) AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says Microsoft plans to focus on superintelligence that prioritizes human control and that he will lead a new superintelligence team, Semafor’s Reed Albergotti reports. “We cannot just accelerate at all costs. That would just be a crazy suicide mission,” Suleyman told Semafor this week. “We have to find ways of simultaneously having humanist superintelligence, which delivers the benefits that we’re all chasing for humans, and also accelerating technology at the same time.” Some of Microsoft AI’s key leaders, like chief scientist Karen Simonyan, will move over to the superintelligence team, and Suleyman will continue to lead Microsoft AI, Albergotti writes.
