Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman is overseeing an overhaul that gives Copilot an empathetic voice, the ability to see, and more advanced reasoning skills.
Mustafa Suleyman was at the center of an artificial intelligence revolution once before.
As a cofounder of DeepMind, a British company acquired by Google in 2014, he helped devise a new way for computers to tackle seemingly impossible problems by combining practice with positive and negative feedback. DeepMind demonstrated the approach by developing a superhuman Go-playing program, AlphaGo, which defeated the world’s best Go player in 2016.
Now Suleyman is talking up a new kind of AI breakthrough.
As CEO of Microsoft AI, Suleyman oversees efforts to integrate the same AI that powers ChatGPT into software—including the Windows operating system—that runs most of the world’s personal computers.
In its latest upgrade, Microsoft announced today that its AI assistant, Copilot, now has a humanlike voice, the ability to see a user’s screen, and better reasoning skills.
Suleyman says it’s all part of a plan to make users fall back in love with the PC. He spoke to WIRED senior writer Will Knight from Redmond, Washington—over Microsoft Teams, naturally. The conversation has been lightly edited.
