\nLONDON:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microsoft (MSFT.O) has announced plans for a new artificial intelligence (AI) hub in London, focused on product development and research.<\/p>\n

The unit will be led by Mustafa Suleyman, the London-born cofounder of Google DeepMind (GOOGL.O), whom Microsoft hired last month.<\/p>\n

Why it\u2019s important<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the primary backer of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Microsoft is a world leader in the rapidly developing technology.<\/p>\n

But competition for AI talent has been heating up across Europe over the past 18 months. Microsoft may seek to poach experts from other AI-focused companies to staff its new unit, such as DeepMind or OpenAI.<\/p>\n

The move also represents a win for Britain, which has sought to bolster its credentials as a technology superpower since hosting the world’s first global AI safety summit in November.<\/p>\n

Context<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month, Microsoft hired DeepMind cofounder Suleyman to run its in-house Microsoft AI division.<\/p>\n

Suleyman quit his own recently-formed company, Inflection AI, to join Microsoft, taking dozens of staff members with him.<\/p>\n

The move received criticism from some corners, as the staff transfer meant Microsoft avoided the regulatory scrutiny that usually comes with a traditional acquisition.<\/p>\n

By the numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n

While it remains unclear how many jobs the new centre will create, the announcement builds on Microsoft’s recent commitment to invest 2.5 billion pounds ($3.16 billion) into data centre infrastructure and improving AI skills across Britain.<\/p>\n

Key quote<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI know \u2013 through my close work with thought leaders in the UK Government, business community and academia \u2013 that the country is committed to advancing AI responsibly and with a safety-first commitment to drive investment, innovation and economic growth,” Suleyman wrote in a company blog post published on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur decision to open this hub in the UK reflects this ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
