9th. So happy shopping and get to it. This AI moment is going to deliver the greatest boost to productivity in the history of our species in the next couple of decades. Mustafa Suleiman. He is the co-founder of Deep Mind, Inflection AI. He formerly worked at Google and now he is the CEO of Microsoft AI. We're just about to embark on a completely new phase of the digital journey. Computers are now learning to speak our language. It will have complete screen understanding of everything that you're doing in your browser or on your desktop or on your phone. How do you imagine personal AI to be like in the future? You just get to keep digging in a completely personalized way.

That is going to be the greatest leveling up. A lot of people are worried about the accuracy. How can we trust AI more? There's still more work to do. Do not rely on these things just yet. At the same time, You feel like we're well prepared for the AI revolution. I think that we are more prepared than the scaremongerers make us think. That does not mean everything is going to be dandy.

What's up, young and profiteers, and welcome to our first episode in our AI Vault series. Every so often, a technology shift comes along that reshapes everything. It happened with the internet, then it happened with smartphones, and now we're experiencing the most profound shift of all, artificial intelligence. AI is no longer just a buzzword, it's not theory, it's evolving into a true co-pilot, a trusted collaborator, and even a potential co-founder. It already reshapes the way that we work and live. But with such breakthroughs comes big questions.

How do we make sure that this technology benefits humanity? And what do the pioneers behind AI think about its future from the challenges of its control, to the way that it's going to change our lives. And that's what our brand new AI Vault series is all about, revisiting the most eye-opening conversations that I've had with the brightest minds in the AI field. And in this episode, we're centering on Mustafa Suleiman. He's the co-founder of Deep Mind and Infliction AI

and now the CEO of Microsoft AI. Mustafa shared a fascinating outlook on the future of AI as one of our closest companions and what that means for society, business, and everyday life. If you've ever wondered whether AI is something to fear, embrace, or both, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective. I guarantee it. So with that said, let's get into our first episode in the AI Vault series with Mustafa Selyman. Mustafa, welcome to Young Improfiting Podcast.

It is great to be here. Thanks so much for having me. I'm so excited for this interview. My listeners love to learn about AI. So you have been a pioneer in AI. You founded Deep Mind, co-founded it, you co-founded Inflection AI. You're now leading Microsoft AI. And I read your book, The Coming Waves. And one of the things that you say is that AI has a lot of threats. There's even, you say, a threat to global world order. So my first question is to you, are you an optimist or a pessimist when it comes to AI? Yeah, it's a great question. I mean, I think that you, to be rational, you have to be both. And if you just sit on one side or the other, you're probably missing an important part of the truth.

Because I think wisdom in the 21st century is being able to hold multiple confusing or contradictory ideas in working memory at the same time and navigate a path through those things, which doesn't leave you sort of characterizing those who disagree with you or somehow, like, see things slightly differently in a negative or sort of unconstructive way. And so it is true that this AI moment is going to deliver the greatest boost to productivity in the history of our species in the next couple of decades. That, to me, is unquestionable. I don't think that makes me an optimist. I think that makes me a good predictor of the underlying trends.

At the same time, it is also going to create. the most change in a disruptive, positive and negative version of disruptive way we've ever seen, right? And that is going to be incredibly destabilizing to the way that we currently understand the world to be, the way that we work, the way our politics operates, fundamentally what it even means to be human. So we're about to go through a revolution. And I think that, you know, in that world, I'm both optimistic and there are parts of me that do feel pessimistic. So one of the things that you talk about related to powerful technologies is a containment problem. And you say it's going to be one of the biggest challenges that we have.

So what is this containment problem and what are the challenges with containing technologies like AI? Yeah. So in the past, the goal has been to invent things and have science, make our lives calmer and happier and healthier. And the race has been, how do we unlock these capabilities as fast as possible we want to create and produce and invent and solve challenges. And that's what we did with steam and, you know, oil and electricity and wind and, you know, food systems. And we've seen this explosion of creativity, certainly in the last couple centuries,

but that's also been the history of our species, right? So the goal there has been proliferate, spread it as far and wide as possible, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits immediately. Now, the thing that I've speculated about, which is the containment hypothesis, is that if we do that this time with AI technologies in a completely unfiltered way, then that has the potential to empower everybody to have a massive impact on everybody else in real time. So we aren't just talking about spreading information and knowledge, that's one part of it. But increasingly, your AI agents or your co-pilots will be able to actually do things in the real world and in the digital world. And the cost of building one of those things is going to be zero marginal cost. So everyone's going to have access to them in 20 years, maybe even much earlier.

And that's going to completely change how we get things done, how we interact with one another, and potentially cause a huge amount of chaos. And so a little bit of friction in the system. could be our friend here. And that's really all that I'm positing in the containment hypothesis. Containing things so that we can collectively as a society think carefully about the potential future consequences and the third, you know, order effects. That seems like a rational thing to do at this point.

That makes a lot of sense. So what are your thoughts around AI and a problem surrounding like surveillance and bias and things like that? Yeah, good question. I mean, there are lots of potential ways that, this technology gets misused. And in some respects, this concentrates power. It makes it easier for a small group of people to see what is happening in an entire ecosystem, i.e. understand the faces and the images and the patterns of massive crowds of people walking around in our societies. And that certainly can be used for a lot of good, right? I mean, we want to have a police force that is

capable of, you know, instilling order and structure and so on. On the flip side, that also makes it easier for, you know, authoritarians, desktops of any kind to identify minority groups that they want to get rid of, right? And it'll just be much easier to find the needle in the haystack. And again, that has, like, amazing benefits because you can catch the bad guy, but it also is potentially scary. And so each one of these steps forward has that balancing act between the harms and the benefits. So let's talk about the benefits because I've been asking you a lot about the negative. So how can AI help us solve things like world hunger and poverty and things like that? Well, one way of thinking about it is that intelligence is the thing that has made us

productive and successful as a species. It's not just our muscle or our brawn. is actually our minds, and our ability to make predictions in complex environments, to solve hard problems, this is really the essence of what makes us special and creative. We learn to use tools and we invent things. So that intelligence, that technique of being able to predict, you know, what's going to happen next, that is actually something that we're increasingly learning to automate and, you know, essentially turn into an intelligence system that can be used by everybody. So what does that mean? That means, okay, well, we now have this very thing that made us smart and productive and created civilization. That very concept, intelligence, is going to be

cheap and abundant, just like energy, frankly oil, has turned. turbocharged the creation of our species, and we now have 7 billion people on the planet, largely as a result of the proliferation of oil, right? The next wave is that everybody is going to get access to personalized, real-time knowledge and a companion, an aide, a coach, a guide, a co-pilot that is going to help you get things done in practice. It will help you create and invent and solve problems and get things done. And so that is a massive force amplifier. So for everybody who wants to solve world hunger or invent new energy systems or solve the battery challenge so that we can really unlock the power of renewables, we now are going to have a super intelligent aid at your fingertips that's going to help you work through those problems.

It's so cool to think about. And as you're talking, I think about like the iPhone, right? We have that in our pocket. It's not, you know, personalized AI. it's not an AI companion or anything like that. But it gives us access to knowledge of the world. It really has moved us forward as humans. And now there's like another wave coming.

And it's pretty exciting. And I feel like we're already ready for it because we've had stuff like the iPhone and the internet. Would you say? Yeah, you're totally right. And in many ways, the iPhone's impact was just as hard for people to predict. Like if you said to people in 1985, like what would the Internet,

enable, very few people would have predicted mobile phones with real-time communication, video streaming, a camera and a microphone in your pocket, right, on the table, almost in every room. That would have sounded terribly dystopian and scary. And yet, because of the friction, because it's taken us a couple decades to really figure it out and get it working in practice, we've created boundaries around these things, right? we've got security, we have encryption, there are privacy standards, there are real regulators that make meaningful interventions, and there's public pressure, and there's, you know, a reaction,

and it steadies the kind of arrival of these technologies in a really healthy and productive way. And it's kind of mind-blowing, you're right, like, who would have thought what the iPhone would have done? Yeah. Well, I'm super excited about everything. I do want to touch on your background a bit. So you co-founded deep mind. And something that we have in common is that we're both really passionate about human rights. So I was telling you offline, I'm Palestinian, 100%. So top of mind for me, especially this year, you're Syrian. And I know that, you know, there's just global issues going on in the world that makes us top of mind. And you were a human rights activist long ago. That's how you started your career. So talk to me about how your experience with human rights and

activism really helped shape your vision and some of your ethical decisions related to deep mind. Thanks for the question. Human rights is core to what I believe to be the solution for a peaceful and stable society. I think, like, your success and my success is probably largely a function of the privilege that we have to live in a society, not at war, have access to a great education system, be able to get access to health care, and really just get the chance to be who we want to be. Instead of growing up in societies that are maybe in the middle of a refugee camp, going through war, in the middle of complete chaos, families that get moved on, you know, month after month or year after year, and essentially end up being refugees. And I think that more than anything, we have to have so much more empathy and kindness for people who have been through that struggle. Like, we tend to, there tends to be a sort of, you know, a demonizing of refugees or migrants as though they're like coming to steal something from our stable worlds.

But in fact, they're actually fleeing insane hardship. So we have to be way more compassionate and forgiving and kind to those kinds of people. And remember that those people are just like us. Like our societies could fall apart in the U.S., in the UK and Europe, just as their societies happen to be falling apart at this moment in time. And, you know, we have to extend a hand of friendship and love. And the human rights framework taught me that because I grew up as a pretty strict Muslim. And I realized, you know, sort of in my late teens and early 20s that it was too narrow a kind of worldview, you know, prioritized being Muslim over being human. And it didn't make

sense to me that there wasn't gender equality. It didn't make sense to me that, you know, people who, you know, chose to, you know, get with a member of the same sex suddenly got demonized and they were like, you know, evil somehow. None of that made sense to me, whereas a human rights framework respects everybody as equals. And I just can't see how that isn't the right way to live. Like, totally. So, yeah, I became an atheist and secular and, you know, a big believer in in these kind of rights frameworks for everyone. And then how did that shape the way that you thought of AI and the way that you decided to develop your technology at DeepMind?

Well, think about AI as a force amplifier. So the question is, which force is it amplifying and which frame is it placing on the amplification? So what set of values, what ideas is it putting out into the world? What are its boundaries? what does it not do? And so technology is fundamentally an ethical question. It is clearly about how we reframe our culture and our ideas and our entertainment, our music, our knowledge in the world, right? So it was very obvious to me from the very beginning that we started,

DeepMind, that we were going to have a huge moral responsibility to think about what it's going be like to bring these agents, these co-pilots into the world? What would their values be? What would they not do? Like, what are their limitations? And so that always was a big motivator for me and was a big part of, you know, the kind of structure that led to our acquisition by Google and subsequent efforts over my time at Google. And since then, have always been very focused on that question. What's up, Yap, gang? If you've ever had to have hire, you know the stress of waiting too long to fill a role. Projects slowed down,

So when it comes to your technology goals at Deep Mind, you have the goal of creating AGI, artificial general intelligence. We've never talked about that on the podcast. I don't

think probably 90% of my listeners have no idea what AGI is. Can you explain what that is? Yeah, great question. I mean, this is a term that gets banded around quite a lot in kind of nerd niche circles. And it's sort of broken out a little bit now. But I mean, basically, the idea of a general purpose intelligence is that it's capable of learning in any environment. And over time, it will end up becoming a superintelligence. It will get better by learning from itself and learning from any environment that you put it in, so much so that it kind of exceeds human performance

at any knowledge or action task. So it could play any game, control any physical infrastructure, learn about any academic discipline. You know, it's going to be a really, really powerful system in the future. But I do think that's a long, long way away. Before we get there, are just going to be regular AI systems or AI companions that can talk to you in the same

language that you or I talk to one another. I'm sure lots of people have played with various chatbots like ChatchipT and co-pilot. And you can see it's getting pretty good. Like, it's still a little awkward, but it's pretty knowledgeable. We've been reducing the hallucinations quite a lot. Lately, we've added the real-time access to information so it can check up on the news and it'll know the weather and it'll kind of have a temporal awareness. And those systems, I think, are going to be around for a pretty long time before we have to worry about a big AGI. But, you know, that is probably coming. So when you say hallucinations, are you talking about incorrect information coming from AI? Yeah, I mean, good question. So not quite. Like, I think of a

hallucination as the model inventing something new, right? And so sometimes you want it to be creative. Like, you're actually looking for it to find the, you know, connection between a zebra and a lemon and a New York taxi, right? And if you ask it, that question, it's going to come up with some creative, poetic, you know, connection that links those three things. But then sometimes you just want it to be like super to the point and not wander off and talk all kinds of, you know, creative, poetic nonsense. You just wanted to give you the facts. So that's a spectrum. And what we're trying to do is figure out from a query, like given the thing that you're asking the model, should we put it into a more creative mode or a more like precise and specific mode that's

more likely to be accurate? And that's kind of the hallucination challenge. How is AI different from narrow AI? Like, what's the main differences? Well, narrow AI is the kind of conversational companions that I was describing. Like, it's limited. It doesn't improve on its own. So, you know, you sort of train it within some boundaries, and then it gets good at a specific number of tasks.

Like, it's good at great conversation. Maybe it can do document understanding. Maybe it can even generate a little bit of code. But you're kind of, we know what its capabilities are. to some extent. That's a narrow version of AI, when we use it for a specific purpose, right? A more general AI is going to be one

where it has things like recursive self-improvement. It could edit its own code in order to get better. It could self-improve. Or like, it would have autonomy. It could act independently of your direct, you know, command, essentially. Or you give it a very general, command, you know, and it goes off and does all sort of sub-actions that are super complicated, like, you know, maybe even invent a new product and create a website for it and then set up

a drop ship for it and then, you know, go and market it and, you know, grab all the, you know, take all the income and then do the accounts and so on. I mean, I think that's kind of plausible in, say, three to five years. Before 2030, I think we'll definitely have that and might well be much, much sooner. Could well be, like, a lot sooner. Oh, my gosh. That's so crazy to think about. So how does that challenge the way that we think of us as humans and consciousness and intelligence? Like, is it going to change the way that we think of what's human and what's not? Yeah, for sure. I mean, we are going to have to contend with a new type of software, right? Historically, software has been, you know, input in, input out. You type something on Airbnb and it gives you a search result page.

or you know you play a piece of music and it you know on spotifying that you know comes out as intended and software so far has been about utility it's been functional the goal is for it to do the same thing over and over again in a very predictable way and it's been really useful right we've created trillions of dollars of business value out of it and unbelievable social human connection and knowledge and all the rest of it it's been incredible actually but we're just about to embark on a completely new phase of the digital journey where computers are now learning to speak our language, right? You don't have to learn the language of a computer to interact with it anymore. I mean, you can. It's still important to be a programmer, but it can actually

understand your language. It can understand the audio that you give it when you do a voice input, the intonation, the inflection, the volume, the pace, the pauses, right? It will increasingly be able to see what you see. So not only will you take a picture and it will recognize what's in the picture, it will have complete screen understanding of everything that you're doing in your browser or on your desktop or on your phone. Frame by frame, you're browsing Instagram, it's seeing everything that you're seeing in real time talking to you about the content of what you're interacting with on Instagram, on TikTok, you know, when you're reading the news, whatever you're doing. So that's a profound shift in what it, that's not a tool anymore, right?

That is really starting to capture something meaningful about what it means to be human, because it's using the same language that we use to understand one another, right? All those subtle cues that take place in social bonding of human relationships, suddenly is going to be present in that dynamic. And it's a really, it's a really big deal. And I think even though we've had a couple of years of large language models being out there and people get to play with it in the open source, I still don't think people are quite grasping how big a deal this shift is about to be. So this question wasn't planned, but it's, you know, on my mind, you mentioned that you're an atheist now. And, you know, you've been central to developing AI. And AI is becoming more human-like

Do you feel like that has altered your perspective about religion a bit? You know, I think there are many amazing things about religion. Religion was a way that people made up stories, this is in my opinion, in order to make sense of a complex world that was confusing. And then science came along and showed that actually we really can understand the world through empirical observation and a falsifiable process of coming up with a hypothesis, running some experiments, observing those results, subjecting them to peer review, and then iterating on the corpus of human knowledge.

And that's how we produced known facts that are very reliable, because they keep getting tested over and over again. And when something fundamental happens, we change our entire paradigm. And so I think that, you know, it's unclear to me what role religion plays anymore in understanding the physical world or even increasingly understanding the kind of social world. I think that, you know, if you look at the contributions in the last, say, century or even couple centuries from great poets and philosophers and musicians, storytellers, creators. inventors, most of them have nothing to do with religion, and yet they've taught us most about ourselves and our societies, right? If you really want to understand who we are as a people, as humans, how our societies function, you don't turn to religion anymore, unfortunately.

Yeah. You know, so, I mean, some people will obviously disagree with that and full respect to them for their opinion, but that's kind of where I land on it these days. Yeah, so interesting. Okay, so let's move on to inflection AI. You co-founded it in 2022, and your vision was to develop AI that people could communicate with more easily. Why did you feel like that needed to be developed? Well, we were at a time when I had sort of just left Google. I'd been working on Lambda, which was Google's conversational search AI, that we ended up never launching. It then got launched as Bard, and then it became

Gemini. And I was sort of frustrated because I was like, these technologies are ready for prime time. They're ready for feedback from the real world. They're not perfect. They make a lot of mistakes. But, you know, we're technology creators. We've got to put things out there and see how it lands, iterate quickly, listen to what people have to say. And it was just sort of just frustrating that we just couldn't get things done at Google

at that time. And so I realized it has to be done. It's time to start a company. Me and Reid Hoffman and my friend, Karen Simonian, started inflection. And we created Pi, the personal. intelligence. It was a super friendly, warm, high emotional intelligence, conversational companion. At the time, it was, I think, the most fluent and the most kind of high EQ conversational companion. It had a bit of personality, it had a bit of humor. And, you know, I think that it was an

interesting time because we ended up getting decent number of users. We had like a million Dow, about 6 million monthly active users, but the main thing I realized is that some people really love these experiences. I mean, the average session length for Pi was 33 minutes, 4.5 times a week. So that ranks it right up there. I was under TikTok, but, you know, right up there. And there's not many experiences like that. And so I think it gave me a really...

real glimmer into what's coming and how different the quality of the interaction is going to be if you really get the aesthetic and the UI and the tone of the personality, right? I know that a lot of AI right now is used for work, right? We're using chat GPT to help us with work. Right. What do you feel is the importance of emotional AI and having like emotional companionship with AI? Yeah. I mean, so far, you're right, chat GPT is really a kind of work and productivity AI. And it's great. It gives you access to knowledge and helps you rewrite things and so on. But in a way, it sort of addresses a small part of our, or one important part of our human needs, right? I mean, the other part of our needs are to make sense of the world,

to receive emotional support, to kind of have understanding of our social complexity, right? I mean, we want to come at the end of the day and vent, right? We want, I mean, a big part of what I think people are doing on social media is posting stuff so that they can be heard. People want to feel like someone else is paying attention to them, that they want to feel like they're understood and that they're saying something that's meaningful. Or maybe they just want to work through something. So in the new co-pilot that we've launched just a few weeks ago at Microsoft AI, we've focused both on the IQ. So it's exceptionally accurate, minimizes those hallucinations we were talking about, has access to real-time information, really fast and fluent. but we've also focused on the EQ

because we want it to be a kind companion. We want it to be your hype man. We want it to back you up, right? We want it to be in your corner, on your team, looking out for you there when you need it. I think people underrate how important that kind of social privileges. Yeah.

You know, that is one of the things that gives middle class kids a huge leg up to always have a parent there, to always have a stable family with a sibling, or even a best friend available to you whenever you need it. And I think that we're going to just touch on a little bit of those experiences now and make that available via co-pilot.

Yeah, it sounds like so amazing, like the future that AI can bring us. And to your point, people who are a little bit underprivileged, like maybe they have an immigrant parent or a parent who's not very educated, now suddenly they have just as much potential as everybody else because they have the same AI companion. Could you tell us, like, how do you imagine us working with machines in the future? Like, how do you imagine personal AI to be like in the future? Yeah, I think you're going to say, like, hey, co-pilot or whatever you call your personal AI,

I'm stuck. What's the answer to this? How should I navigate that? You know, I need to go buy this thing. Can you take care of it for me? Will I be available in a week to do this thing? Or, like, you know, you're going to basically. use it as a as a way to kind of organize your life and spend less time, you know,

sort of being distracted by administration and more time pursuing your curiosities, right? Especially in the voice mode, you know, I think you very quickly just forget that this is actually a piece of technology and it feels like you're just having a great conversation with a teacher that is patient, you know, non-judgmental, doesn't put you down, has infinite time available to you, and will wander off on the path that you choose to take

through some complicated question. And doesn't matter how many times you go back and say, can you explain that again? I didn't quite understand that. What do you mean? No problem. You just get to keep digging in a completely personalized way.

That is going to be the greatest leveling up we have ever seen. Because it's expensive, you know, socially. It costs for me to turn around to one of my friends who knows a lot about something and pick up the phone and say, hey, man, can you walk me through this thing? And obviously, my friends will do it, but there's a barrier there, right? It's not instant. I'm really asking for something. Or it's a cost for me to unload on my friend at the end of the day when I'm frustrated

and irritated. and I want to show up to my best friend in the best possible way and, like, have fun and be bright and energetic. And I'm still going to have those emotional moments with them. It's not that they're not going to be there. It's just that it now lowers the barrier to entry to get access to support and knowledge and information. And that is what is going to be the level up.

Yeah. So with technology in the past, we've seen it actually make us become more lonely, right? Everybody says there's this loneliness epidemic, social media makes sense. us more lonely? Do you feel like this new wave of AI and personalized AI in this manner is actually going to help us become less lonely and replace human connections, so to speak? Every new wave of technology leaves us with a cultural shift, right? It's not just static, right? It's going to have some impact. And it may be the case that social media has made us feel more lonely and isolated. And we have to unpack that. Like, why is that? What is that people report feeling

lonely? But another way of thinking about it that I think is that people feel judged by social media. They feel excluded. They feel not good enough. Why is that? Because I think Instagram really dominated in highlighting a certain visual aesthetic. I need to be big and have muscles, right? I need to get my fashion on point. Oh my God, look at how good a cook she is. She's making incredible food. Look at how she's taking care and he's taking care of their kids. I'm just looking at all these perfect caricatures and it's making me feel insecure. Right. So I think that's what's at the heart of it. And what sits beneath that is a UI, a UI that rewards a certain type of attention. right? And I think you can create new UIs. You can create new reward mechanisms, new incentivizations

to dampen that spirit and create more kind of breadth, actually, and more. And actually, I think in a way, TikTok is an evolution of that because you don't get as much of that on TikTok. It's kind of, you know, a lot of the comments even are like much more healthy. They're like full of jokes and support and, you know, kind of friendly banter, whereas YouTube was just spiteful. I remember the YouTube comments back in the day seemed really like rough, right? And obviously like X. I mean, I don't know who uses X anymore, but like that's turned into a cess bit. So I just think you have to be conscious and deliberate. I'm sure that when we put out on new AI experiences, there are going to be some parts of society that get ruffled by it. And my job and my life's work is to be

super attentive to those consequences and respond as fast as possible to trim the edges and reshape it and cast it. It's like a sculpture. And you have to just be paying full attention and taking responsibility for the real-time consequences of it. So now you are CEO of Microsoft AI, and you guys launched co-pilot about a year ago. Can you walk us through how co-pilot transformed work for Microsoft users over the past year? And then we'll get into what's new. So we launched co-pilot about a year ago very much as an experiment to see how people like to interact with conversational LLMs. In the work setting, it's pretty incredible to see how co-pilot is now embedded in Microsoft 365.

So on Windows, on Word, on Excel, there's so many tools and features that enable you to just ask your co-pilot whilst you're in the context of your document to summarize something or create a table or to create a schedule or to compare to complex ideas. And so I think it's had a massive impact there, actually. And it sort of doesn't get talked about so much because it's been. so kind of embedded and, you know, now it's become like second nature. It's like part of people's everyday workflow. Yeah. It's so cool. Like I've used co-pilot before and to your point, like it just feels so natural. Like I feel like we're all just so ready to have an AI companion. So talk to us about the future of what co-pilot is going to bring. Well, the next way for co-pilots is the sort of flavor of much more personable, much more fluent, much more natural interactions. So it's

fast, it's sleek. It's very elegant in the UI. We've done a lot of work to pair back the complexity. I think that people want calming, you know, cleaner interfaces. I feel like when I look at my computer sometimes, I see like colors of every type, shapes, different kinds of information architectures, and it's just like this blur. And I just need like serenity and simplicity. So we're really designing co-pilot to go out and fetch the perfect nuggets of information for you and bring them into your kind of clean feed and really create a UI where you can focus on conversation. So the answers are designed to be pithy, short, you know, humorous, the little bit of like, you know, spice, a bit of energy and, you know, it's fun to chat to as well as learn from

at the same time. And so that kind of interactive back and forth was a big part of the motivation for how we designed it. Are you bringing some of the emotional piece that we were talking about before into this? Yeah, it's really designed to have a bit more of that connection. You know, it'll ask you questions. Or if you're in the voice mode, for example, it will actively listen.

So, you know, it will go, you know, it will kind of go, uh-huh, or no way, or right, whilst you're speaking, to let you know that, like, it's listening, it's paying attention, It's keeping the conversation moving. And so just little subtle touches like that, as well as like the intonation in the voice and the energy that it brings. Those kinds of things are, I think, really quite different to what we've seen before. Are there any other advancements that you're working on at Microsoft related to AI?

Yeah, there's a lot coming. I mean, like, you're going to see a different kind of hardware platform, I think, over time. You're going to see a lot of different features in terms of personalization. So I think increasingly people are going to want to give their co-pilots their own name. And who knows, one day in the future, you know, might have an avatar or visual representation. So we're thinking about a lot of different angles. How far off do you think we are from co-pilot being more than a tool and more like a coworker? I think that it's naturally going to evolve to be more of a coworker because you want it to be able to fill in your gaps.

Right? You know, you think you have certain strengths and weaknesses. Some of us are more analytical. Some of us are more creative. Some of us are more structured. You can think of each one of us as this unique kind of, you know, key that fits like a perfect lock with our strengths and weaknesses. And I think that each co-pilot is going to adapt to the grooves of your unique constellation of skills. And so, if it's it fits to you, it kind of means, like, you and your co-pilot are going to be like a pair. You're going to be like a powerhouse. I mean, who knows one day you might even go and do job interviews together because it's going to be like, you're hiring me and my co-pilot. We're a pair, you know. It could well be your co-founder, all right? I'm expecting anytime soon people to declare that it's like them and their AI starting this

new company. Oh, my God. That's like mind-blowing to think. Like, I can't even imagine a world like that. Do you have any concern, like, when GPS came out, for example, I was just, you know, around the time when I was younger and driving. And I, you know, can't from my life get anywhere without GPS now. I'm so dependent on it. I only know how to do things that I did when I first started driving and didn't really have GPS, like embedded in my car, right? And I can't memorize phone numbers anymore the way that I used to. And I just am worried that AI is going to make us maybe more lazy, maybe less creative. Are you worried that it's going to impact human intelligence in a negative way? I mean, people said that about the calculator, right, that it was going to lead to kids cheating in tests and so on and so forth. And it didn't. Like, it just made us smarter, enabled us as humans to do more complex computations.

And so I don't see any evidence that it's making us dumber in any way. I mean, we have overwhelming access to information. And I think that on one level, that has actually made us all way more tolerant and respectful and kind. People tend to fixate on the polarization politically in our society. But actually, think about it from the other perspective. 20 years ago, take your pick, abortions, religion, sexuality, gender, trans, right? I mean, take your pick. All of those were decades and decades behind where they are now.

It is amazing how bright and beautiful and colorful our world is now and how respectful and kind we are on the whole. Now, there are still pockets of fear and hatred and, you know, there's plenty of that. But there's also massive, massive progress. And I think that progress is a function of us having access to knowledge about one another, living together, growing together, hearing from one another. And I think that's going to continue.

mentality. I try to just use products that I love and that I use every day and try not to buy too much of the other stuff that's just going to clutter up our spaces.

They've got an amazing serum called Great Skin Serum. I love to wear that underneath like tinted moisturizer. I love to put like a little bit of concealer. And then I love to

use their flush bomb. Their flush bomb is the best cream blush that I've ever used, and the whole internet is obsessed with this cream blush. In fact, one every 30 seconds was sold last year.

A lot of my listeners are entrepreneurs. They're rolling this out to their teams. AI in general, a lot of people are worried about the accuracy and the bias related to AI. How can we trust AI more or do you feel like there's still more work to do in terms of us fully trusting AI? Yeah, there's still more work to do, right? I'm painting a rosy picture of the future. it's going to be a while for these things to actually work perfectly. So you've always got to double-check it.

Do not rely on these things just yet. At the same time, you know, you would be a fool not to use them because it really is a complete revolution in access to information and support and so on. So the good news is that if you're starting a new business or if you're trying to figure out your next move in life in general, everything is available open source. You can try any model on any API, you can get access to the source code quite often,

and really get a really good understanding of the cutting edge. You can't get that absolute cutting edge in open source, but you can get very, very close. And I think that will give anybody a good instinct for how these things can be useful to your business or to your startup or to your next step in life. So let's move on to some future predictions. I know that Microsoft is working on some AI projects related to sustainability.

Can you talk to us about what you guys are working on? Yeah, sure. So we're actually one of the largest buyers of renewable energy on the planet. And that's a long-time commitment by the company to be net zero by 2026. and carbon negative, so giving back, taking carbon out of the supply chain by 2030. So in order to do that, we've also been massively investing in new technologies and new science. You know, for example, massive investments in battery storage and nuclear fusion projects in carbon sequestration, so taking carbon out the atmosphere.

So, you know, across the board, we've been making. this a priority for quite a long time. Well, thank goodness because climate change is so important. So let's go back to this containment problem that we talked about right in the beginning of the podcast. Can you compare in contrast what the world would look like 10, 20 years from now if AI is contained and we use it in a really positive way versus AI not being contained and it's sort of getting out of control? You know, I think that one way of thinking about it is that cars have been contained so cars have been around for 80 years and we have layers and layers of regulations seatbelts emissions you know windscreen tensile strength street lighting disposal of the materials after a car's life is

over driver training now there's an entire ecosystem of containment built up to prevent you know, a 13-year-old from driving through a field and, you know, crashing into a cow or whatever. Yeah. You know, it's a whole infrastructure for containment that takes time to evolve. And we've actually done it pretty well, and cars are now incredibly safe, just like airplanes, just like drones. You know, drones haven't just suddenly exploded into our world.

You know, they've had containment. There are rules. You can't just go fly a drone in Times Square, right? you have to get a permit, you need to get a drone license. You know, there are certain places that you can't fly them at all, like near airports. You know, so this isn't actually that complicated. It's quite likely that we will succeed in putting the boundaries around these things so that they're a net benefit to everybody.

That actually makes me feel a lot better. It really does because, you know, AI is a scary thing to think about, like all these changes happening, but it's so good to hear from you, somebody who's been so central. to it all to really believe like, hey, I think it's going to be okay. I think we're going to be able to contain this and things will overall be positive. But how about the fact that, you know, power is sort of decentralized now with AI, right? A lot of people can kind of just use it and run with it. And there's some bad apples out there. So what do you have to say about that? Yeah, that's a tough question. I mean, there are definitely bad apples and there are definitely

people who will misuse it. And that is, that's kind of the conundrum, I think, is that we have a two-prong challenge. One is figuring out how nation states and democracies get into a place where they can regulate the powerful, big companies like me. They can hold us accountable, and they can make the public feel like they're competent and they're on the case, centralized, so regulating centralized power. And then the second is, like, how do we cope with the fact that everybody's going to have access to this in, you know, seconds, and we want them to. Like, it's not like we don't want people to have access. We want people to have access in open source. You know, and I think the important thing to remember is that so far we haven't

seen any catastrophic harms arising from open source or in the large-scale models, right? So all of this is speculation. Everyone could be totally wrong. It could be that we're actually not going to progress as fast as we thought. It could be that, like, you know, we come up with really reliable ways of instilling safety into this code. Certainly could be the case. And there's no reason for us to start slowing down open source right now, none at all, right? It needs to continue because people get enormous benefit out of it. At the same time, if something were to go wrong, it's just software.

So someone can copy it and repost it and post it again, and it's going to spread super fast. So I just think it's a new type of challenge, so we haven't yet faced yet. I think people often forget the internet is quite regulated. It's not like this is the internet is this kind of free-for-all, chaotic open domain, right? There's a whole bunch of things that you can't find on the web, or you have to really work hard to get on the dark web and find pretty ugly stuff. And it's illegal, and if you get caught doing it, you're in deep trouble and stuff like that. So it's not like, you know, it's just going to be a total free-for-all. And, you know, in general, I think most people do want to do the right thing.

So this isn't about worrying about your average user. This is about a tiny number of really bad apples, as you say. Yeah. To me, it sounds like you're saying, like, we're well prepared. You know, we've seen these new technologies before humans have been dealing with these new technologies over the last 200 years or so. And it sounds like you're saying, like, you feel like we're well prepared for the AI revolution. I think that we are more prepared than the scaremongerers make us think.

That does not mean everything is going to be dandy. And there's a lot of work to do. And each new technology is new to us, right? It's like by definition. It's something we haven't seen before. When I was writing my book, I read about this amazing story of the first passenger railway train that took a trip in Liverpool. And this is 1830, so the first time anybody has ever seen a moving carriage, essentially,

it was a single carriage on rails. And the prime minister came down to celebrate. There's tons of people there, the mayor, and there was like the local MP. They were so excited by what was coming that they actually stood on the tracks and they didn't get out of the way when the train came. and it killed a bunch of people, including the local MP. Oh, my God. So it was that alien and that strange, just a regular moving carriage,

that they couldn't figure out that they needed to get out of the way. So that, obviously, I'm sure never happened again. But it gives you an indication sometimes of how kind of surprising and strange it can be and how we can be unprepared. Now, obviously, we're not living in the 1830s. have the benefit of hundreds of millions of inventions since then. And so we understand a lot more about, you know, the process of inventing, creating technology, seeing it proliferate. We understand a lot more even about digital technologies in the last couple decades, right? We see the consequences

in social media, right? We see how, you know, unencrypted phones, you know, cause security chaos. We see how, you know, hackers try all sorts of different tricks of the trade to kind of undermine, you know, our security and privacy and so on. So there's an accumulation of knowledge that, on the one hand, should make us feel, you know, optimistic that we are prepared. On the other hand, we also know that these are unprecedented times and these are very new and fundamentally different experiences. And so I don't think we should, you know, we shouldn't be complacent, you know, this is going to be different. How do you envision the future of work? Like, do you feel like people will have the traditional sort of nine to five job that they have right now?

Or do you feel like humans are going to be able to be more creative and enjoy their life more? Like, how do you imagine that? Yeah, I think that work is going to change. I mean, it's already changing, right? I mean, we're already remote. We're on our devices. You know, I do honestly half of my work on my phone because I travel a lot and I'm like always making phone calls, sending text messages and, you know, using.

messaging and teams and so on. So, you know, it is going to be very, very different. And I think in an AI world, you know, you're going to have your companion with you, remembering your tasks, helping you get things done on time, you know, helping you stay organized and on top of all the chaos. I think that should make you feel lighter and more prepared, you know, mentally, more ready to be creative. And that's what's going to be required of us, because routine work is going to go away. Like a lot of the kind of drudgery of, you know, sort of elementary, you know, digital life, it's going to get a lot smoother and a lot easier.

And so that's going to free us up to, you know, be creative as entrepreneurs. So I think that's, you know, some amazing things are going to be invented as a result of that extra time that we're going to have. So you don't feel any worry like humans are not going to have purpose anymore? I think that work was invented, you know, because we had limited resources and we had to organize ourselves in efficient ways to reduce suffering. So what happens when we don't have as much of that burden? And actually there is going to be resource available for millions of people. And the greatest challenge we have is figuring out how to distribute it and how to make sure that

everybody gets access. So I don't think there is something inherent about the human connection and need for purpose with work. I think many people find their purpose and passion in a gazillion other things that we all do, right? Many people also find it in work too. And, you know, that is going to be a big shift. Because if you find passion in that kind of drudgeonous work that I described, then now you're going to be there, you know, in 20 years time. So you can have to think hard about that. But I think it's pretty exciting. People are going to be able to find many, many new purposes

and many, many new things to do with their lives. Do you feel like we're going to live longer because of AI? Yeah, I think so. I don't know how long. I'm not one of these kind of like, you know, live forever type people. But we're already living longer because we have a much better awareness of, you know, health conditions. I'm just thinking about how many people died because,

everyone thought smoking was okay, right? And how many lives were cut short? And now so few people smoke, right? And people are aware about the consequences of alcohol or unhealthy food or sitting on the couch. Like, just that alone, again, access to information, scientific evidence, proving that these things actually do lead to longevity. That's all table stakes now.

And so for sure, there's this kind of bump that we're going to get in 60 years' time when a bunch of people who've grown up just, you know, since their teens, thinking that, you know, living a healthy life is the normal thing to do instead of, like, how I grew up, which is like cigarettes and alcohol and da-da-da-da-da, like, you know, so obviously there's still room for all that kind of stuff, but is a different thing now. And then on top of that, like, we're going to have AI tools that help us to really make sense of the literature for us in a personalized way, so we can really see what kind of nutrition we might need, given our gut biome, you know, that whole sort of movement is only just starting to

kind of have effect. And I think it's going to be pretty impactful. Yeah. So let's move on to entrepreneurship. For all the entrepreneurs out there, how should they prepare, well, it's already happening. What should they be doing now to take advantage of AI? I mean, all the tools are already out of fingertips. I mean, in some ways, that's kind of like an overwhelming thing, you know, because it's like, it's just there. There's like nothing holding you back. I mean, there's no secret source. Like my team has some, you know, little bits and pieces here and there that might not be available. But, you know, most of it, the knowledge, the know how, you know, the cloud services, the open source stuff, the YouTube videos, it's all there. And so it is an electric time.

You know, I'm seeing, someone came up to me at a book signing that I did the other day. She's 15 years old and she was showing me this unbelievable project that she had been working on, made a bunch of money, you know, strung together from all like available public tools with two of her pals, thinking about dropping out of school. It blew my mind. And, you know, I think that is just like there, if you're hungry, and if you're ready to take risk, this is the thing I say to people is take risk when you're young. Take risk. I took a lot of risks, you know, drop out, change your degree, switch your subject, give up work, maximize your side hustle, partner with a friend that you're not sure about partnering with, go ask a question,

you know, just like people want to help. Just ping them an email. You know, doorstep them. People don't doorstep each other anymore. You know, back in the day, people would, like, wait outside. I don't even know what that means. Do you know, like, it means like after a show or, you know, outside a theater. Oh, like, wait for somebody. Yeah.

That used to be a big thing. That used to be how people did networking, right? They would, like, go to an event because they knew that someone was going to be there and then try to, like, build the connection. Physical connection's huge. Like, find that moment to, like, shake someone's hand, show a quick demo, drop them a note, you know, that is just, it's hustle. It's just hustle culture. That's what you've got to be on if you really want to do it. And everyone's in the game. So, you know, what an amazing time

to be creative. Like, take that risk. It's so exciting. And I hear the passion in your voice and I feel like anybody listening right now probably feels like so pumped to just explore, see what's out there related to their industry and just, you know, get their hands dirty. Yeah, because I did that as well, right? I mean, I dropped out of my degree. Like, I switched up my careers a bunch of times, you know, like, I wasn't afraid to ask people for help. And it was really the people that, like, the reason that I've been successful is because a few people gave me unbelievable opportunities at the right moment. When I was really young, like, helped me get into a great school. You know, I ended up going to Oxford, like, helped me get a great early job, you know, help me when I started my telephone counseling service when I was 19.

You know, so just it's really other people that end up lifting you up, and you have to form those relationships, give so much thanks and praise to those who do do that, and then keep giving it to other people, too. I mean, you know, one thing is I reply to a lot of my LinkedIn's. I won't say I reply to all of them because that will be a lie, but I do reply to a lot. I certainly reply to all my emails, and people with cold email me all the time. And, you know, I might not be able to help them, but I'll reply, and I'll point them in the right direction or something, because that's really what matters. And when you see someone who's

taken that extra step to try and hustle it, like I really rate that. And I think it's the way forward. And my listeners know that I interview, like, such powerful people. I find that the more powerful the person, the more helpful they are. And the more that they actually care about giving back and giving feedback and being personal. Because what ends up happening is that they probably have more time because they're already successful and made it. And it means. means a lot to them to actually give back. Yeah. And I just got super lucky as well.

Like, I've obviously done some things right. I mean, if I, luck is a huge part of it. And, you know, you kind of make your own luck by by asking people for favors and help and advice and feedback. Like, I've just learned everything along the way by assuming that I know nothing. But that's the key thing is that I'm not embarrassed to look. Even to this day in front of my team, I'll often ask the stupid question. And quite often I end up looking like an idiot.

it. Like, probably one out of five times, maybe even one out of four. Like, I will say something and I'm like, oh, that was a clangor. Like, oops. But then, you know, a bunch of other times, it would be like, oh, that was the thing that everyone was thinking. And then my team seeing me trip and just look like a doofus, that encourages them to then go and ask the stupid question. Yeah. And then we're all just less judgmental. There's none of this professional nonsense. Like, you have to be all formal and straight. You just. Break down those barriers. Be human to one another. Collaborate deeply. Like, set aside shame. Do I mean? Like, shame is one of the most useless emotions.

I'm so sorry that we evolved to carry this thing. Frankly, I think it comes from religion, but that's another story. But I just think, why are we carrying around this baggage of shame? So I need to be shamed. You know, just recognize when you tripped up, make a correction, take the next step. So you're talking about leading your team. You've led so many. teams at Deep Mind, Google, now Microsoft. What are some of your key leadership principles that you live by? And maybe talk about, like, what is, like, you know, one of the biggest challenges that you've had so far as a leader? Yeah. So my style tends to be very open and collaborative. I like to hear lots and lots of disagreeing voices. You know, strong opinions are healthy,

provided they're grounded in wisdom and humility. They need to be evidenced, right? They need to be referenced, they need to reference some sort of historical example or some data or some, you know, empirical case. Or they need to be explicitly named as a guesstimate. I don't mind that either. Like one thing I often say to people is

deliver your message with metadata. Such a basic thing. Say to the person, I'm really sure about this because I've looked up this, this fact. I'm really not sure about this. Or I'm looking for feedback on this one. Or, you know, this is just an FYI, right? So letting each other know, like, what the status of our exchange is helps to kind of,

often I see conflicts arise from a mis-expectation about what two people are expecting in an exchange. So that's one thing, it's like clear communication, there's evidence-based, there's a lot of humility, very collaborative and open, but I'm also very decisive. Like, fundamentally, my job is to sift through all the complexity and make a call because there's really, you know, nothing worse than not having clarity for the team. Even if we end up going in the wrong direction, that's totally fine because we'll calibrate. We have a process, you know, for feedback and iteration and retrospective, and that will really, really help. One thing that I've struggled with is in larger organizations, naturally, because there's like tens or hundreds of thousands of people, there's different people with different motivations. In a startup, you know that everyone is due or die, you know, and maybe there's one or two that aren't and they get rotated out, but they're like there for it. And in a bigger organization, it's not always true.

Like some people are just, you know, kind of happy in the rhythm that they're in. And so one of my learnings is, you know, to kind of learn to energize those people and find a, you know, sort of practical flow to kind of get them in and get them being useful. Well, I want to be respectful of your time because we're running out of time here. So one of my last questions to you is what is the legacy that you hope to leave behind related to AI and the world in general? Oh, man, I don't think about legacy. I think about the future. But you're totally right. I mean, let me think about that.

That's a hard one for me. I mean, I hope that, like, I'm able to kind of live my values authentically and let people know what I'm trying to do, give people an opportunity to disagree with it, but fundamentally move at pace to experiment with this new approach of AI companions and emotionally intelligent AIs. And, you know, I really want to try and help steward this new moment in the, you know, with kindness and compassion. That's what means a lot to me. Well, I really enjoyed this conversation. I've had probably 10 conversations about AI. This is by far my favorite one. I feel like you made me feel not scared about AI and I feel like I know so much

more about it. So the last two questions that I ask all my guests, you don't have to make it based on AI. It could just come from your heart. What is one actionable thing our young improfitors can do today to become more profitable tomorrow? I think the most important thing has got to be to be critical of yourself. You know, retrospectives are key. Ask for feedback from your friends, your family, and especially ask for feedback from people who you think, you know, are going to give you something a little bit barbed. You don't have to take it. but just at least be aware of the landscape and get in the habit of not having a thin skin. That will make you tougher and stronger for everything that you've got to encounter next.

I think I needed to hear that. And what would you say is your secret to profiting in life? Learning and humility. Like, I have made so many mistakes, and I still make mistakes all the time. And I've upset people, I've hurt people, I've pissed people off, and I don't like doing it. I hate it. It grinds at me, but it's my fuel, because that's the signal I need to get better every day. And I know that the one thing I can do is I have this process of getting better step by step. And I've been doing it since day, and I just, I love it. That's what I live for,

learning. Amazing. And where can everybody learn more about you and everything that you do? Well, I'm on LinkedIn. I'm not on Instagram or TikTok, unfortunately, but Obviously, I'm also a huge believer in our co-pilot AI, so you can download that in iOS, Android, or copilot.microsoft.com. Good news for you. A lot of our Yap listeners are on LinkedIn. We talk about LinkedIn all the time. Nice.

So I'll put your link in the show notes. And thank you so much, Mustafa, for all of your time. This has been awesome. Thanks so much. Yapam, it was such a privilege to sit down with Mustafa Soleiman, somebody who's truly at the forefront of the AI revolution that's already reshaping our lives in real time. Mustafa had a unique take on the future of AI. He's both helpful and cautious. On one side,

he sees AI as potentially the biggest productivity leap in human history, which is really exciting. But on the flip side, he doesn't shy away from all the hard truths. AI is going to be disruptive. It could rattle our societies, our jobs, and our day-to-day realities. It even might deepen the loneliness we already feel in our hyper-digital world. But then again, maybe it won't. Maybe AI will be the biggest cheerleader and parent that we never had. To Mustafah, AI is a force multiplier. It's like having a genius level sidekick always by our side, ready to help us create, solve, and build. Maybe it joins you in your job interviews. Maybe it becomes your co-founder. Tools like Microsoft's co-pilot could be your biggest business cheerleader, empowering a new

generation of entrepreneurs to break through. Regardless of how you feel about AI, whether you're excited or uneasy. If one thing is clear, AI is here to stay, so you better lean into it and start experimenting. Download an app. Learn something new. Train your own AI buddy because you never know. That could be your next co-founder. Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of Young and Profiting Podcast.
