Will AI \u201cagents\u201d soon be personalized teachers, doctors, companions and even check items off your to-do list on their own? \u201cAgentic\u201d is the latest buzzword in AI and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says moving beyond the text chatbot to a "smart friend\u201d is the goal. The former co-founder of DeepMind, Suleyman helped grow Google\u2019s AI division before launching another start-up, InflectionAI. Earlier this year, Microsoft paid $650 million for the licensing rights to Inflection, and brought Suleyman and most of his staff on board.
