Microsoft’s head of AI wants the company to build “humanist superintelligence” to help rather than replace us.
Mustafa Suelyman, who is the CEO of Microsoft AI, has announced a series of new AI models while insisting the tech giant is focused on supporting humans instead of replacing them.
Speaking at Microsoft Build 2026 this week, he said: “The type of AI we create really does matter.
“We need an AI that places humanity first, that always prioritizes human well-being, and human progress.
“This is the core philosophy and motivation behind our superintelligence efforts at Microsoft – and it shapes everything that we do.”
He insisted Google AI is focused on “humanist superintelligence” using AI designed “to serve humans, not replace them”.
He added: “We really are living in the most remarkable times.
“Since I started working in AI, the compute that we use to train frontier models has increased by 1 trillion fold – that’s 12 orders of magnitude in just 15 years.
“It’s now clear that a consistent, exponential increase in computation leads to predictable advances in AI capabilities, and in the next few years, we’re going to see three orders of magnitude of compute applied to train frontier models.
“Intelligence is now a function of compute, long linear hill climbing has become the norm, the scaling laws are clearly holding, and it is a remarkable time in our industry.”
As well as seven new Microsoft AI models across image, voice and transcription, the company is also working on coding like the MAI-Code-1 model specifically designed for GitHub.
There’s also MAI-Thinking-1, which is Microsoft’s first reasoning model, while the company is pushing further with agentic AI platform Microsoft Discovery.
The app is focused on a “new era of research and development”, particularly those in demanding and regulating industries like energy and food.
