Microsoft has made a significant move in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector by hiring a former Google DeepMind and Inflection AI executive, signaling a potential boost in its consumer AI growth. This strategic hire is part of Microsoft's broader effort to strengthen its AI division, as evidenced by the company's decision to start a new AI division in March 2024. The move has been characterized as Microsoft bulking up its AI management team, with the AI start-up losing its CEO and Chief Scientist to Microsoft. This development is seen as a key moment for Microsoft, with the company reaching an 'Inflection point' by peeling off top personnel to form its AI division. The hiring is also part of the ongoing AI arms race, with Microsoft poaching the 'relentless' former Google executive to push for dominance in consumer AI.
