Microsoft AI gets a new London hub fronted by former Inflection and DeepMind scientist Jordan Hoffmann
Microsoft has unveiled a new London hub for its recently launched consumer AI division, fronted by an AI scientist poached from Inflection AI.
We now know that one of those was Hoffmann, a former PhD student who joined Deepmind as research scientist in 2020 before jumping ship, following Suleyman to Inflection AI in 2022. Suleyman noted that they will launch new job postings in the “coming weeks and months” to find fresh AI talent to join Hoffmann at Microsoft’s Paddington office, where they will develop new language models and associated infrastructure and tooling. On a vaguely related note, Google DeepMind co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis was recently awarded a knighthood for “services to artificial intelligence.”
