Serve Humanity'

Microsoft is launching a new MAI Superintelligence Team under Mustafa
Suleyman to build practical, controllable AI aimed at digital companions,
medical diagnostics, and renewable-energy modeling. "We are doing this to
solve real concrete problems and do it in such a way that it remains grounded
and controllable," Suleyman wrote. "We are not building an ill-defined and
ethereal superintelligence; we are building a practical technology explicitly
designed only to serve humanity." CNBC reports: The new Microsoft AI research
group will focus on providing useful companions for people that can help in
education and other domains, Suleyman wrote in his blog post. It will also
pursue narrow areas in medicine and in renewable energy production. "We'll
have expert level performance at the full range of diagnostics, alongside
highly capable planning and prediction in operational clinical settings,"
Suleyman wrote. As investors and analysts are increasingly voicing their
concerns about overspending on AI without a clear path to profits, Suleyman
said he wants "to make clear that we are not building a superintelligence at
any cost, with no limits."
