Resolution criteria

This market resolves YES if Mustafa Suleyman is no longer employed by Microsoft in any capacity by December 31, 2028. This includes resignation, termination, or any other form of separation from the company. The resolution will be verified through official Microsoft announcements, SEC filings, or credible news reports from major outlets (Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, etc.).

Background

Suleyman joined Microsoft in March 2024 as Executive Vice President and CEO of Microsoft AI, leading all consumer AI products and research including Copilot, Bing, and Edge. Suleyman is a British AI entrepreneur, co-founder and former head of applied AI at DeepMind, and co-founder of Inflection AI.

Considerations

Suleyman has a track record of departures from major roles. He left DeepMind in 2019 under somewhat controversial circumstances, with reports of tensions within the company and concerns over leadership style. His current role at Microsoft is strategically central to the company's AI ambitions, but executive departures in the tech industry are not uncommon, particularly among high-profile founders and leaders who may pursue new ventures or opportunities.
