The chief executive of Microsoft AI believes that an advanced form of artificial intelligence that can independently run companies is coming sooner than people expect.
In a new interview on the Young and Profiting YouTube channel, Mustafa Suleyman says AI is now smart enough to complete a narrow set of tasks, including documentation and code generation.
According to the Microsoft executive, a more general AI could emerge in the coming years that will have the capabilities to perform almost all digital tasks in order to execute a user’s vision. Suleyman also says the general AI will have the capacity to improve on its own.
“A more general AI is going to have things like recursive self-improvement. It could edit its own code in order to get better. It could self-improve, or it would have autonomy. It could act independently of your direct command, essentially, or you give it a very general command and it goes off and does all sorts of subactions that are super complicated, like maybe even invent a new product, create a website for it and then set up a drop ship for it and then go and market it and take all the income and then do the accounts and so on.”
The Microsoft AI CEO adds that the technology is coming well before the decade expires.
“Before 2030, I think we’ll definitely have that and might well be much, much sooner, could well be like a lot sooner.”
