Artificial intelligence startup Inflection AI said it’s planning to license its technology to Microsoft Corp., part of a shift for the startup toward working with business customers — a move that follows the departure of most of its staff for Microsoft.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg first reported that Microsoft had hired Inflection Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, as well as Chief Scientist and co-founder Karén Simonyan, along with most of the startup’s employees.
