Microsoft plans to open an AI centre in London
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft has announced plans to open a new AI hub in London with a focus on research and product development. Mustafa Suleyman, who was just hired by Microsoft, is leading this initiative. According to reports, Microsoft may appoint specialists from other top AI firms, such as DeepMind or OpenAI, to work in the new division.
The move also represents a win for Britain, which has sought to bolster its credentials as a technology superpower since hosting the world's first global AI safety summit in November.
Suleyman quit his own recently-formed company, Inflection AI, to join Microsoft, taking dozens of staff members with him. The move received criticism from some corners, as the staff transfer meant Microsoft avoided the regulatory scrutiny that usually comes with a traditional acquisition.
Suleyman wrote in a company blog post, “I know – through my close work with thought leaders in the UK Government, business community and academia – that the country is committed to advancing AI responsibly and with a safety-first commitment to drive investment, innovation and economic growth. Our decision to open this hub in the UK reflects this ambition."
The announcement builds on Microsoft's recent commitment to invest 2.5 billion pounds ($3.16 billion) into data centre infrastructure and improving AI skills across Britain.
