Microsoft does not want Meta to be the only company in the industry to achieve Artificial Superintelligence. Now, the Redmond-based firm has created its new laboratory, tasked with conducting advanced research in the field of AI.
According to Microsoft, Mustafa Suleyman, executive director of Microsoft’s AI group, will be in charge of leading this new division and achieving “Humanistic Superintelligence,” as they call it within the company.
“At Microsoft AI, we are working to achieve Humanistic Superintelligence (HSI): incredibly advanced AI capabilities that always work to serve people and humanity as a whole,” Suleynam said in his statement.
According to the executive, this AI can match human performance in all areas. In addition, they seek to use it to solve real and specific problems in a way that makes superintelligence controllable and practical.
“This is not an unlimited entity with high degrees of autonomy, but rather a carefully calibrated, contextualized AI with defined limits. We want to explore and prioritize how the most advanced forms of AI can keep humanity in control, while accelerating our path toward solving our most pressing global challenges,” he said.
A race for artificial superintelligence
The decision to open an artificial superintelligence laboratory comes after Meta worked on its own SuperAI laboratory, which has seen millions of dollars invested and recruited significant talent from the artificial intelligence industry.
Although Microsoft has pointed out that the creation of this laboratory is intended to compete for the development of this technological advance, its goal is to create a “humanistic” superintelligence that, as its name suggests, seeks to benefit humanity.
“We reject narratives about a race toward General Artificial Intelligence (…) we reject dichotomies of boom and bust; we are committed to the long term to deliver tangible, specific, and safe benefits to billions of people.”
The Redmond-based company said its team will include new expert-level staff across the entire product development range.
