The CEO of Microsoft AI has some obvious advice for young people looking to succeed

Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, envisions a future where workers develop "symbiotic relationships" with artificial intelligence agents.

Key Points:

• Future Workflows will involve managing AI agents, checking their quality, and iterating with them
• Younger generations will inherit a radically changed world shaped by AI
• Suleyman advises young people to experiment with current AI models to understand their capabilities and limitations

The AI Revolution in Progress

Suleyman, cofounder of Google DeepMind, shared his vision on the "Big Technology" Podcast. He believes current discussions focus too much on short-term AI impacts rather than its profound long-term effects:

"After all, it is intelligence that has produced everything that is of value in our human civilization"

While AI hasn't yet delivered on some grand promises like medical breakthroughs or climate solutions (as mentioned by Bill Gates), it's already transforming society in significant ways.

Challenges and Concerns

AI applications raise important questions:

• Military uses (see AP News report)
• Job displacement (as seen with Klarna replacing workers with AI)
• Ethical dilemmas (DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis compared concerns to Oppenheimer's)

Advice for the Next Generation

Suleyman offers straightforward guidance for young people preparing for an AI-driven future:

1. Experiment widely with current AI models
2. Make mistakes to understand limitations
3. Look beyond the hype to identify real-world applications
