AI Expert Mustafa Suleyman Predicts a Paradigm Shift in Human History: Artificial Intelligence to Make Knowledge Production Cost-Free within 15 Years

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman believes that a significant change in human history is on the horizon within the next 15 to 20 years. He predicts that AI will drastically reduce the marginal costs of producing new knowledge, bringing it close to zero. This shift in economics will have a profound impact on human civilization, marking a true inflection point.

Suleyman explains that just as the internet revolutionized access to information, AI will further eliminate the costs associated with producing it. With information becoming open-sourced and freely available to everyone, he sees this transformation as ultimately positive. Humans, he argues, are inherently knowledge producers, and AI will serve to amplify this capacity.

As a top AI expert, Suleyman co-founded DeepMind, a leading AI lab now under Google’s ownership. He recently joined Microsoft with the aim of enhancing Copilot, the company’s AI assistant for business applications. With his insights into the future of AI and knowledge production, Suleyman anticipates a monumental shift that will redefine humanity’s collective intellectual output.
