And on September 12 he returns to the Intelligence Squared stage to share his fresh perspective into what AI can and cannot achieve in the next waves of disruption. Suleyman is the ultimate AI insider. In March 2024, a few months after he was last on our stage, he became the CEO of Microsoft AI, a new division bringing together Microsoft’s major consumer AI products and teams. Previously he co-founded DeepMind and Inflection AI.

Suleyman says AI represents nothing less than a step change in human capability and society and believes we are approaching a critical threshold in the history of humankind, introducing both risks and innovations on an awe-inspiring scale. Suleyman will discuss what has changed in the world of AI since he first published his book The Coming Wave: Technology, Power and the Twenty-First Century’s Greatest Dilemma. He will share the ultimate guide to what we will likely see in the months to come as AI continues to reshape business, the global economy, medicine, everyday life, the world of work and more.

Join us for an evening with one of the titans of the AI revolution.

Please note that this event will start at 6pm (rather than 7pm, like other Intelligence Squared talks during this season).
