Microsoft Scoops Up DeepMind Co-founder for New AI Division
In the latest episode of Surface Ink Vs. Google Chrome, Microsoft has just recruited Mustafa Suleyman, a British tech whizkid and co-founder of DeepMind, to head their shiny new AI division. One might even call this a “Deep” development. Let’s chip into the silicon-heavy drama.
Key points:
- Mustafa Suleyman, a British AI tycoon and the co-creator of DeepMind, has been handed the reins to a fresh AI division at Microsoft. Wonder if he gets to pick the office plants too?
- Suleyman founded DeepMind with buddies Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg way back in the ancient times of 2010. After passing “Go”, they sold the business to Google for a humble £400 million fee in 2014. And you thought Monopoly was cutthroat.
- DeepMind formed the hard foundation of Google’s AI efforts when it blended into Google DeepMind in 2023. It’s like a blockbuster crossover event but for tech nerds.
Final thoughts:
As the leading software wizard at Microsoft, our dear Suleyman could either be the mastermind behind your next favorite virtual assistant or the reason you throw your computer out of the window. Either way, the move marks a significant chess play in the AI domain. While tech companies continue to compete in the AI gladiatorial arena, it’s clear that poaching talented individuals from each other’s ranks is the tactical modus operandi. So, is it just about crafting AI, or are we also witnessing the construction of the ‘Avengers’ of the tech world? Only the upcoming sequels will reveal.
