Microsoft's Suleyman Pivots to Superintelligence Chase

Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's CEO of AI, has shifted focus toward pursuing superintelligence following a major company restructuring in mid-March. He tells The Verge he spent up to nine months preparing for the transition before it became public. The pivot was officially enabled by renegotiating Microsoft's contract with OpenAI, which Suleyman says unlocked the company's ability to pursue superintelligence. He had been planning the move even before that deal was finalized.
