Microsoft AI chief says AI limits still far off, computing power to jump 1,000-fold by 2028
Mustafa Suleyman, chief executive of Microsoft’s AI group, said AI development is unlikely to hit limits any time soon, citing a surge in computing capacity. He wrote that compute used to train leading models has expanded sharply since 2010 and that gains come from chips, memory, networking and software efficiency. He said training times have fallen dramatically and forecast effective computing could rise 1,000-fold by 2028, while power remains a key constraint.
