Microsoft has announced the formation of a new team, MAI Superintelligence, with the goal of creating artificial intelligence that is significantly more capable than humans in specific domains. The initiative, led by Microsoft's AI chief Mustafa Suleyman, will initially focus on developing 'medical superintelligence' for diagnostics, with Suleyman predicting this could be achieved within two to three years. The company stated it plans to invest heavily in the project, which will be staffed by existing researchers and new hires. Suleyman emphasized a vision for "humanist superintelligence," focusing on solving defined, real-world problems rather than attempting to build an uncontrollable, autonomous general AI. This effort follows similar projects by other major tech companies aiming for breakthroughs in advanced AI capabilities.
