AI chief: Musk bulldozes reality (seriously)

It’s challenging to dismiss Microsoft’s presence in the generative AI sector, despite recent reports claiming that its extensive AI efforts have been rendered futile and that there’s virtually nobody finding any use for its offerings, such as Copilot. The tech giant has made elaborate measures to leverage its massive Windows operating system market share to push its AI agenda. There are even future plans to evolve the operating system into an agentic platform.

In October, Microsoft and OpenAI renewed their vows under a new definitive agreement, which allows the latter to pursue AGI independently or in collaboration with third parties. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman launched the MAI Superintelligence team, designed to help the company pursue superintelligence but with a humanist twist. The executive has been vocal about aggressively chasing down these coveted benchmarks, but to make them work for humanity, not replace them.
