Microsoft’s artificial intelligence group has been growing under Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of the DeepMind research lab Google acquired years ago.

Among new hires, former Google Gemini engineering lead Amar Subramanya joined Microsoft AI as corporate vice-president.

Microsoft has recently recruited approximately two dozen employees from Google's DeepMind AI research lab, bolstering its Copilot project.

Chain-of-thought monitorability could improve generative AI safety by assessing how models come to their conclusions and spotting the "intent to misbehave.”

Microsoft has hired around two dozen engineers from Google DeepMind to strengthen its AI team and accelerate Copilot development, intensifying the talent war among tech giants.

Late last year, Dominic King and Christopher Kelly were poached by Suleyman from DeepMind to run a new AI health unit that has already developed an AI medical system that it says is four times more successful than human doctors at diagnosing complex ailments.

Microsoft has hired 24 former DeepMind employees, including Amar Subramanya as its new AI VP, in a major move to strengthen its consumer AI ambitions under Mustafa Suleyman's leadership.

CASP, the protein structure prediction contest that launched DeepMind’s Alphafold to international fame and a Nobel Prize, has secured temporary funding to continue operations. The organization’s current funding — from the National Institutes of Health — is set to run out in early August.
