Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman Envisions a Future Where AI Learns Our Style and Rhythm

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are only in their infancy, suggests Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s AI lead, who envisions these tools becoming more lifelike in the near future. Speaking at the “Building AI Companions for India” event in Bengaluru, Suleyman shared his perspective on the next generation of AI, suggesting these tools will soon exhibit human-like speech patterns, creating a more seamless and natural interaction for users.

This event marked Suleyman's first visit to India in his role as head of Microsoft’s AI division. "Consider a personal assistant that learns not only your preferences but also your way of expressing them, truly personalising your experience," he explained, hinting at how Microsoft is developing AI assistants to feel not only functional but also intuitive and customised.

A Vision for AI as a Constant Companion

Describing AI’s future role, Suleyman envisions it as a steady presence in our lives, an "always-on" advisor capable of seamlessly supporting users across tasks. "Imagine an AI assistant that connects the dots across your tasks, helping you live better, work smarter, and make the most of each moment," he added, emphasising the transformative potential of such technology.

Copilot Voice and AI for India’s Rural Community

Suleyman was joined at the event by Puneet Chandok, Microsoft’s president for India and South Asia, as they introduced some of Microsoft’s latest tools. One highlight was KissanAI, a tool designed to assist the Indian government in reaching rural communities. KissanAI provides real-time agricultural data to farmers, helping them increase yields and improve productivity. Suleyman discussed KissanAI's impact in a fireside chat with S. Krishnan, Secretary of MeiTY.

Introducing Copilot Vision: Real-Time Recommendations on the Web

During the event, Suleyman demonstrated Microsoft’s Copilot Vision, an advanced AI feature set to launch soon. This tool observes a user’s digital interactions to offer real-time suggestions, such as furniture or clothing styles while browsing. The feature aims to make web browsing more intuitive by delivering relevant recommendations in real time.

Despite the exciting capabilities, Suleyman addressed privacy concerns, which Microsoft has faced before, such as when it showcased the now-delayed "Recall" feature. This tool was designed to track user activity comprehensively to make it easier for AI to organise and retrieve information. However, after privacy-related concerns, Microsoft postponed the launch to further refine the feature.

Building Trust in AI

Puneet Chandok reinforced Microsoft’s commitment to user privacy, emphasising that AI will only reach its potential if users feel secure. "Trusting an AI assistant means knowing it learns with you, adapting to not only your tasks but also your values," he said, highlighting the company’s aim to foster a responsible and respectful relationship between AI and its users.
