AI's Productivity Promise and Coming Wave

Now on Spotify Video! Mustafa Suleyman’s journey to becoming one of the most influential figures in artificial intelligence began far from a Silicon Valley boardroom.

That vision led him to co-found DeepMind, acquired by Google, and later launch Inflection AI. Now, as CEO of Microsoft AI, he explores the next era of AI in action.
