Microsoft AI head’s stern warning as tech giants race to build superintelligent system, says ‘not going to be a better world if…’

Mustafa Suleyman, the head of AI at Microsoft, has issued a stark warning about the risks of advanced artificial intelligence, saying the world will not be better if humanity loses control of it, adding that raw capability must take a backseat to human control. His remarks came days after the tech giant, who recently laid off its employees, unveiled Microsoft’s new MAI Superintelligence Team. He emphasised that while tech firms such as Mark Zuckerberg’s operations are spending billions on AI, raw capability alone is not enough. “It’s not going to be a better world if we lose control of it,” he said.
