Microsoft has hired Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Google DeepMind, as the CEO of a new team handling the company's consumer-facing AI products. Suleyman will also serve as executive vice president of Microsoft AI. He co-founded DeepMind in 2010 before it was acquired by Google in 2014. Suleyman had been on leave from DeepMind since 2019 due to controversy surrounding projects he led, including complaints of bullying. He subsequently joined Google as vice president of AI product management and AI policy before co-founding startup Inflection AI.
