Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman says we must reject the AI companies' belief that "superintelligence is inevitable and desirable." ... "We should only build systems we can control that remain subordinate to humans." ... "It’s unclear why it would preserve us as a species."

Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, has publicly rejected the dominant industry belief that superintelligent AI is both inevitable and desirable. He argues we must only build systems we can control that remain subordinate to humans, questioning why a superintelligence would preserve humanity. This stance directly challenges the core philosophy of many leading AI labs, including his former employer DeepMind, and ignites a crucial debate on the fundamental goals of AI development.
