Microsoft eats Inflection AI, more or less, hiring founders to head Microsoft AI. Inflection pivots. My 2 cents: * Microsoft swoops in for the most valuable assets at Inflection -- the founders, because... *LLM landscape starts to shuffle, consolidate. Watch all of the "model" companies, including open source plays, and the question is, how will they make money? https://lnkd.in/ev5mG7Ft

🤯 If this week wasn't enough, Microsoft just dropped a bombshell in the AI industry! Hot on the heels of the surprising news about Apple's licensing discussions with Google, Microsoft has made a game-changing move that has left the tech world, well me, stunned. In a stunning development, Mustafa Suleyman and Karén Simonyan, the co-founders of the highly respected AI startup Inflection AI, have joined Microsoft to lead the company's newly formed consumer AI division, Microsoft AI. Suleyman, known for his role as a co-founder of DeepMind (acquired by Google in 2014), will serve as EVP and CEO of Microsoft AI, while Simonyan, a celebrated AI researcher, will take on the role of Chief Scientist. But wait, there's more! Several members of the Inflection AI team, including some of the most talented AI engineers and researchers, are also making the move to Microsoft. This strategic acquisition of top-tier talent underscores Microsoft's aggressive push to bolster its AI capabilities and innovate in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. With Suleyman at the helm, overseeing AI products and research for Microsoft's Copilot, Bing, and Edge, we can expect to see groundbreaking innovations and transformative consumer AI experiences in the near future. The AI revolution is in full swing, and Microsoft is leading the charge. As the industry continues to evolve at breakneck speed, one thing is clear: the future of AI is brighter than ever, and I can't wait to see what Microsoft and its newly acquired talent will bring to the table. 🚀 More deets: https://lnkd.in/dCHqcfGR https://lnkd.in/dMCPdhjU #MicrosoftAI #InflectionAI #AIRevolution #ConsumerAI #ArtificialIntelligence #IndustryDisruption

Microsoft's recent strides in AI remind me of the classic case study of Netflix and Blockbuster. Initially met with skepticism, #AI seemed complex and inaccessible. Yet, Microsoft has been turning skeptics into AI power users by seamlessly integrating AI tools into everyday platforms like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure. They’ve simplified AI, making it accessible and practical. The core lesson here is adaptability. Microsoft, like Netflix, saw the changing landscape and acted decisively. They’ve shown that embracing new technology isn't just about innovation; it's about making it usable and valuable for everyone. In your business, think about how you can leverage emerging technologies. Are you staying ahead of market trends? Are you open to pivoting when necessary? Embracing change and staying adaptable can turn doubters into advocates, ensuring long-term success. #AI #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #Adaptability #Technology #ContinuousLearning

Huge, continued statement of intent from Microsoft on AI - formation of a new AI division as part of a significant re-org. Ex-DeepMind founder Mustafa Suleyman will lead the group, with Copilot, Edge, Bing and GenAI teams all coming under him. If you've never heard Suleyman talk, he's ultra-inspiring and has AI context and experience like few others - lots of Copilot evolution and rationalisation ahead, and the move also brings Inflection's AI models to Azure. https://lnkd.in/eWbrT9rc #Microsoft365 #Microsoft365Copilot #AI #MicrosoftCopilot

💥 Microsoft hires DeepMind’s (Google/Alphabet's AI research unit) cofounder to manage their consumer AI business unit. 💡 This says a lot about Microsoft's commitment to effectively integrating AI Copilot into Windows as well as about adding a set of conversational features to the Bing search engine. How do you think Google will respond to this strategic move? #artificialintelligenceforbusiness #chatbot #aicopilot #deepmind #digitaltransformation #generativeai
