"Microsoft Appoints DeepMind Co-Founder Mustafa Suleyman as CEO of New AI Division"

Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Google DeepMind, has joined Microsoft as the CEO of its new AI division, overseeing consumer-facing AI products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. Suleyman will also serve as executive vice president of Microsoft AI and join the senior leadership team reporting directly to CEO Satya Nadella. His hiring comes after controversy at DeepMind, where he was placed on leave in 2019 and later left to co-found the startup Inflection AI. Microsoft's move signals its commitment to advancing AI technology, building on partnerships with OpenAI and AI startup Mistral, and expanding its AI offerings across Windows, Office products, and Edge.
