Microsoft has announced British Artificial Intelligence pioneer Mustafa Suleyman will lead its newly-formed division, Microsoft AI. Mr Suleyman currently heads start-up Inflection AI, but is best known for co-founding AI firm DeepMind.
It was one of the UK’s best known AI firms and was bought by Google in 2014. Mr Suleyman’s move cements Microsoft’s reputation as a leader in artificial intelligence (AI), a field in which Google is appearing to struggle.
Microsoft boss Satya Nadella described Mr Suleyman as a “visionary, product maker, and builder of pioneering teams that go after bold missions”.
“I am excited for them to contribute their knowledge, talent, and expertise to our consumer AI research and product making,” he added.
