Meet our third Microsoft AI model: MAI-Image-1! #9 on LMArena, striking an impressive balance of generation speed and quality. Excited to keep refining + climbing the leaderboard from here. We're just getting started. https://lnkd.in/eJ-YxHrE

Here’s a question that’s not getting the attention it deserves: what kind of AI does the world really want? I think it's probably the most important question of our time. For several years now, progress has been phenomenal. If AGI is often seen as the point at which an AI can match human performance at all tasks, then superintelligence is when it can go far beyond that performance.   Instead of endlessly debating capabilities or timing, it's time to think hard about the purpose of technology, what we want from it, what its limitations should be, and how we’re going to ensure this incredible tech always benefits humanity.   At Microsoft AI, we’re working towards Humanist Superintelligence (HSI): incredibly advanced AI capabilities that always work for, in service of, people and humanity more generally. We think of it as systems that are problem-oriented and tend towards the domain specific. Not an unbounded and unlimited entity with high degrees of autonomy – but AI that is carefully calibrated, contextualized, within limits.   To do this we have formed the MAI Superintelligence Team, led by me as part of Microsoft AI. We want it to be the world’s best place to research and build AI, bar none. We are doing this to solve real concrete problems and do it in such a way that it remains grounded and controllable. We are not building an ill-defined and ethereal superintelligence; we are building a practical technology explicitly designed only to serve humanity.   Our recent work demonstrates the value of this narrower form of domain specific superintelligence. The New England Journal of Medicine includes a Case Challenge in every issue – a list of symptoms and a patient to diagnose. It’s fiendishly difficult even for domain experts, let alone the average doctor. Our orchestrator, MAI-DxO, managed to reach 85% across the Case Challenges. Human doctors max out at about 20%, and need to order many more expensive tests. In our view both clinicians and patients alike would welcome the extra support. This work just hints at the potential to revolutionize healthcare. (More here: https://lnkd.in/eSZ8m6T8)   Superintelligence could be the best invention ever – but only if it puts the interests of humans above everything else. Only if it’s in service to humanity. Ultimately what HSI requires is an industry shift in approach. Are those building AI optimizing for AI or for humanity, and who gets to judge?   At Microsoft AI, we believe humans matter more than AI. We want to build AI that deeply reflects our wider mission to empower every person on the planet.     Humanist, applied - this is the superintelligence I believe the world wants. It’s the superintelligence I want to build. And it’s what we’re going to build on MAI’s Superintelligence Team.   More on the MAI blog this morning: https://lnkd.in/edFGgg6K

New launch for you to play with this week! Our latest homegrown model, MAI-Image-1, just shipped in Bing Image Creator and Copilot Labs so more people can test it out and create - and feel just how fast it is. If you want some inspiration for your first prompt, during our testing, the team found a few areas where the model really excels: - artistic lighting and photorealistic detail, like a textured blanket or looking through raindrops on a window - great at generating food, from spaghetti to birthday cake - nature scenes, like a forest or desert or mossy garden For pure image generation: you can go to town at https://lnkd.in/epQrMgsh, right from the Bing search bar, or with the Bing mobile app. To add a visual to custom audio: use Story Mode at https://lnkd.in/ezJiw9qd and the model will generate you a unique image to go along with your story Give it a go and drop your creations below- plus let us know if you find any other winning subjects we haven't uncovered yet. 🖼️ MAI-Image-1 is currently available in all countries that can access Bing Image Creator and Copilot Labs, excluding the EU, which is coming soon!

All of today's Copilot announcements boil down to one core idea: we're betting on humanist AI. An AI that always puts humans first.   AI that's social instead of isolating.   AI that helps you connect with your real-world relationships, instead of roleplaying romance.   AI that supports to show up in the real world, instead of pulling you away from it.   AI that helps bring out the best in us, not the worst.   Because AI should work for humans. Never the other way around.   Lots more hot takes and product updates at our Copilot Sessions event this morning, but a few highlights:   Copilot Groups: Invite up to 32 friends, classmates, or teammates to a shared conversation and brainstorm, co-write, plan, or study together. Copilot will keep everyone on the same page by summarizing threads, proposing options, tallying votes, and splitting tasks.   Mico: A super expressive, customizable visual character - one that can listen, react, and even change colors if you opt in. And there may or may not be a pretty fun easter egg the team built in…   Copilot Mode in Edge: An AI browser built the way your brain actually works, combining Voice, Vision, and Actions for a next-level, seamless browsing experience. We're also introducing Journeys, which organizes your history by topic and intent instead of timestamp, making it easy to jump back in and keep going.   Plus so much more that won't fit in a single LinkedIn post - from health to tutoring to personality updates.   You can check out the full event streaming now: https://lnkd.in/gWw2d6RY   And there's even more detail on the blog for those who like a deep dive: https://lnkd.in/g8YasNuG   Everything is live now in the US and rolling out fast beyond over the next few weeks. So please, jump in, try them out, and give us feedback! Building for people starts with hearing from you. Keep it coming.

Healthcare is one of the greatest challenges our world faces - and it's one Bill Gates and I are both incredibly passionate about. I recently got to sit down with him on BBC to talk about the future of healthcare and the role AI will play, and the interview just went live.   From Bill: "These AI advances are the one reason that, even in the face of these aid cuts, I think we'll be able to continue to make huge progress. More innovation is taking place now, accelerated by AI than any time in history."   If we get this right, the prize could be incredible. And to reach that potential, we need to be asking one question at every step of the way. As I told Bill, "the purpose of technology is to serve humanity, and that's the test that we have to keep repeatedly putting it to."   For both of us, healthcare is one of the places it can serve humanity most.   Full interview out now, starting at 1:51:30: https://lnkd.in/eeedAqGQ

We're approaching the dawn of medical superintelligence - the moment when affordable, world-class medical knowledge and support is at your fingertips whenever you need it.   I think people are still underestimating how profound this transformation is going to be. Today we're announcing Copilot Health, enabling users to connect all their EHR records and wearable data in a secure, private health space that Copilot can analyze and reason about to provide personalized insights and proactive nudges.   You choose what information to connect - from hospital lab results to your fitness tracker - and Copilot Health applies medical intelligence to surface easy to understand, personalized insights that you can actually act on.   It's a dedicated space to bring your personal health data together in a single profile, including: - Activity, sleep, and vital trends from 50+ wearable devices, including Apple Health, Oura, Fitbit and many more - Health records from 50,000+ U.S. hospital and health systems, including visit summaries, medications, and test results - Comprehensive lab test results from Function   Copilot Health enables people to arrive at their appointment with the right questions and the right context to make the time they have with doctors really count.   Your data is always your data, and you are always in full control. Your data won't be used to train our AI models, and you can disconnect sources at any time. Our Copilot Health responses are also grounded in information from credible health organizations like Harvard Health, as well as real-time US provider directories to find the right real-world care.   Copilot Health is launching first in the US to adults over 18, but we ultimately want to make this service available to the billions of people around the world who struggle to access reliable medical advice. Please give it a go and sign up to join the early Copilot Health community and help shape what comes next.   More on the MAI blog: https://lnkd.in/g7WasmZF
