Microsoft\u2019s<\/a> artificial intelligence (AI) head has reportedly outlined the company\u2019s vision for life after OpenAI.<\/p>\n

Speaking<\/a> to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Thursday (Nov. 6), Mustafa Suleyman<\/a> discussed the company\u2019s plans to create self-sufficiency from OpenAI, which is enmeshed into many of the products Microsoft offers to its customers.<\/p>\n

As the report noted, a recent deal<\/a> between the two companies allows Microsoft to establish its new MAI Superintelligence Team, which will emphasize human interests and guardrails first, Suleyman said. The WSJ said he reiterated past warnings about AI\u2019s possible risks.<\/p>\n

While praising OpenAI and the companies\u2019 collaborations, Suleyman criticized the idea of treating AI systems as though they have human-like feelings or rights. AI chatbots shouldn\u2019t fool users into thinking they are talking with sentient beings, he said.<\/p>\n

AI is \u201cgoing to become more human-like, but it won\u2019t have the property of experiencing suffering or pain itself, and therefore we shouldn\u2019t over-empathize with it,\u201d Suleyman told the WSJ. \u201cWe want to create types of systems that are aligned to human values by default. That means they are not designed to exceed and escape human control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the new deal with OpenAI, Suleyman said Microsoft is focused on software tools for the workplace, healthcare diagnostics and to play a part in the science of developing sources of clean, renewable energy.<\/p>\n

These efforts are happening at a time when \u2014 as PYMNTS wrote last week \u2014 Microsoft is transitioning from its software\/cloud roots, becoming \u201can AI infrastructure provider shaping how work, creativity and productivity will function in the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n

For proof, the report added, look to the company\u2019s restructured relationship with OpenAI, which gave Microsoft a 27% stake and raised its valuation above $4 trillion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One day after that deal, the company reported for its first quarter 2026 earnings nearly $78 billion in quarterly revenue, driven by 40% cloud growth and an expanding AI moat \u201cbuilt atop a foundation of trust and technical scale,\u201d the report said. Microsoft also reported a $3.1 billion hit from its investment in OpenAI.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur planet-scale cloud and AI factory, together with Copilots across high value domains, is driving broad diffusion and real-world impact,\u201d said Satya Nadella<\/a>, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft. \u201cIt\u2019s why we continue to increase our investments in AI across both capital and talent to meet the massive opportunity ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

As PYMNTS noted, even that \u201cplanet-scale\u201d cloud can still stumble. The same day Microsoft announced its earnings, it found itself dealing with an Azure outage, leaving cloud customers unable to use Microsoft services, among them airlines like Alaska and Hawaiian.<\/p>\n
