In a bold move earlier this year, Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, secured a surprising deal with a Silicon Valley startup, Inflection AI. Despite Inflection AI's lack of profitability and its CEO, Mustafa Suleyman's questionable leadership skills, Microsoft paid over $650 million for the licensing of Inflection's technology. Suleyman, a co-founder of DeepMind, was appointed to lead a significant portion of Microsoft's business, totaling over $12 billion. This risky move shocked those outside of Microsoft's inner circle, as the company took a chance on a startup with a potentially groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology. The decision to invest in Inflection AI demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to innovation and willingness to take calculated risks in order to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving tech industry.
