Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman's ghostwriter landed a job on staff in the company's new consumer artificial intelligence organization, according to an internal organizational chart.
Microsoft in March hired Suleyman, head of startup Inflection AI and cofounder of AI pioneer DeepMind, to be CEO of a newly formed "Microsoft AI" group. The organization is responsible for consumer AI products such as Microsoft's Copilot AI chatbot and the Bing search engine.
Michael Bhaskar was the co-writer of Suleyman's book "The Coming Wave. The Microsoft org chart lists Bhaskar as one of Suleyman's direct reports, with a role listed as a "staff writer."
It's not the first time Bhaskar has landed a position at one of Suleyman's employers. Bhaskar was also a "writer in residence" at DeepMind and was a "staff writer" at Inflection for the first three months of this year, according to his LinkedIn. His Amazon author page says he was a "consultant" at DeepMind.
Bhaskar has written a few books. One that came out in 2013 is called "The Content Machine."
The description reads: "Publishing is in crisis. Publishing has always been in crisis, but today's version, fuelled by the digital boom, has some frightening symptoms."
