Microsoft AI CEO opens up: ‘Told to quit school at 16’ – Suleyman on working-class life

Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman reveals his working-class London upbringing shaped his tech vision. The DeepMind co-founder, whose Syrian taxi driver father and nurse mother urged him to learn a trade, lived independently from age 16 before dropping out of Oxford to help Muslim youth post-9/11. Now he champions AI for social good and universal basic income.
