Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, predicts a significant change in human history within the next 15 to 20 years. He believes that artificial intelligence will reduce the marginal costs of producing information to near-zero levels. This will revolutionize the way new scientific and cultural knowledge is generated, marking a “true inflection point” in human history.
According to Suleyman, the internet has already reduced the costs of producing information, and AI will further eliminate them. He envisions a future where information will be open-sourced, available to everyone, and human knowledge production will be enhanced by AI technology. Suleyman sees this as a positive development, as it aligns with humans’ core function of generating knowledge.
Suleyman is recognized as a leading figure in AI, having co-founded DeepMind, an AI lab acquired by Google in 2010. He recently joined Microsoft and aims to enhance the quality of the company’s AI assistant, Copilot. By leveraging AI technology to augment human knowledge production, Suleyman believes that this transformation will shape the future of humanity.
