Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman to head Superintelligence Team; same technology Mark Zuckerberg is spending billions on; but there’s ‘twist’

Microsoft is forming a team that will be tasked with performing advanced artificial intelligence research. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of the Microsoft AI group that includes Bing and the Copilot assistant, announced the formation of the MAI Superintelligence Team. Suleyman said that that he will be leading it. Called the MAI Superintelligence Team, the project follows similar efforts as by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms, Safe Superintelligence Inc and others that have begun targeting technical leaps. In fact, Facebook parent Meta has been spending billions to hire talent for its new Meta Superintelligence Labs unit that’s working on research and products. Meta this year offered $100 million signing bonuses to recruit AI engineers, leading the AI talent war.
