There are only a handful of people truly shaping the AI race. Sam Altman at OpenAI. Dario Amodei at Anthropic. Demis Hassabis at Google DeepMind. Elon Musk at xAI. And Mustafa Suleyman at Microsoft AI. This episode is about Mustafa. He co-founded DeepMind (with Demis Hassabis), where AlphaGo shocked the world by beating Lee Sedol in Seoul, then came back a year later in China and beat Ke Jie, the world’s top Go player. He later co-founded Inflection, built Pi, and then moved to Microsoft after a roughly billion-dollar deal to bring Inflection’s team and technology into the Microsoft AI orbit. What makes Mustafa especially interesting is not just the resume. It’s the lens. He grew up in London, with a Syrian father and an English mother who grew up in poverty. Before AI, he worked on mental health, city policy, and conflict resolution. So when Mustafa talks about AI, he does not just talk about models. He talks about China, jobs, biology, government, safety, and power. His book, The Coming Wave, is one of the clearest ways to understand what the people building AI think is coming next.

In this episode, Benedict Lelijveld joins us to unpack what it feels like to start a career in an era shaped by COVID disruption, hybrid work, and accelerating AI. We dig into his writing on Mustafa Suleyman and the idea of “pessimism aversion”: holding genuine hope for breakthroughs (from personal AI to advances in biology) while staying clear-eyed about risks like misuse, weak regulation, and who really benefits. Benedict also reflects on what early-career professionals lose when work becomes too remote—and why protecting your voice, curiosity, and craft matters more than ever as automation spreads.

Thursday’s episode moved quickly from political activism around AI platforms into deeper structural questions about automation, energy, and hardware limits. The conversation began with the QuitGPT movement and broader tech activism, then shifted into Mustafa Suleyman’s warning that most white-collar tasks could be automated within eighteen months. From there, the discussion widened into China’s rapidly advancing open models, energy constraints, alternative compute architectures, and whether the future of AI runs on silicon, waste heat, or even living cells. The throughline was clear, capability is accelerating, but infrastructure and power are the real constraints.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- A week before OpenClaw exploded , I recorded a prescient conversation with Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of DeepMind. We talked about what happens when AI starts to seem conscious – even if it isn’t. Today, you get to hear our conversation. Mustafa has been sounding the alarm about what he calls “seemingly conscious AI” and the risk of collective AI psychosis for a long time. We discussed this idea of the “fourth class of being” – neither human, tool, nor nature – that AI is becoming and all it brings with it. Skip to the best bits: (03:38) Why consciousness means the ability to suffer (06:52) "Your empathy circuits are being hacked" (07:23) Consciousness as the basis of rights (10:47) A fourth class of being (13:41) Why market forces push toward seemingly conscious AI (20:56) What AI should never be allowed to say (25:06) The proliferation problem with open-source chatbots (29:09) Why we need well-paid civil servants (30:17) Where should we draw the line with AI? (37:48) The counterintuitive case for going faster (42:00) The vibe coding dopamine hit (47:09) Social intelligence as the next AI frontier (48:50) The case for humanist super intelligence ----- Where to find Mustafa: - X (Twitter): https://x.com/mustafasuleyman - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mustafa-suleyman/ - Personal Website: https://mustafa-suleyman.ai/ Where to find me: - Substack: https://www.exponentialview.co/ - Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar - Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Produced by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Ltd.

Are we sleepwalking into the biggest technological revolution in human history? In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mustafa Suleyman — CEO of Microsoft AI & author of The Coming Wave — breaks down what it really means to live in a world undergoing a massive reckoning with Artificial Intelligence. Whether you love it, hate it, or don’t even realize you’re already using it, AI is quietly reshaping everything we know about medicine, government, finance, energy, and even human relationships. Mustafa pulls back the curtain on the true risks of AI, the benefits that may outweigh them, and the unsettling truth about how fast this technology is evolving...much faster than anyone predicted. He reveals the single most significant global use-case of AI today (and why it’s a direct challenge to human evolution), the surprising reason AI therapy and companionship are exploding worldwide, and what we’re unintentionally outsourcing to machines that may isolate us from real human connection. We dive into: - The waves of AI evolution and what comes next - The coming disruption to the economy and the job market - How to prepare (and parent) in a world powered by AI - Why AI’s similarity to the human brain’s neural networks is both fascinating and terrifying - The urgent need for guardrails and safeguards before bad actors use AI to manipulate individuals and entire societies - Mind-blowing breakthroughs AI could unlock in human potential - Why Mustafa believes AI will never develop its own awareness or agenda - And the controversial question: Will it take a catastrophic AI event to force governments and agencies to finally work together? This is not just a conversation about technology, it’s a conversation about humanity’s future, the choices we’re making right now, and the consequences of ignoring the wave that’s already here.
