AI will learn our style, rhythm to talk like humans: Microsoft AI CEO

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are the talk of the town nowadays. But these are early days, hints Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. In the coming months and years, believes Suleyman, the AI tools will start to speak and behave like humans, helping them seem more natural and engaging to their users. Suleyman explained his vision of next generation AI at Building AI Companions for India, an event organised by Microsoft in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
This is the first time Suleyman has visited India. He currently heads the entire AI division of Microsoft.
“Imagine if your personal assistant learned your style, your rhythm, what information matters to you — it’s not just functional but deeply personalised, enhancing your experience,” Suleyman said, hinting that Microsoft is indeed working to give its AI agents similar traits.
This sort of AI assistant can become an integral part of people’s lives. “Picture an AI agent as an always-on advisor, a steady presence in your life — connecting dots across tasks, helping you work smarter, live better, and make the most of every moment,” said Mustafa Suleyman.

Copilot Voice demoed at the event

At the summit, Suleyman was accompanied by Puneet Chandok, Microsoft president for India and South Asia. The two Microsoft leaders showcased some of the company’s tools and strategies that have already started reshaping digital experiences for millions of users in India.
One such tool is KissanAI. Suleyman had a fireside chat with S Krishnan, secretary, MeiTY, to talk about it. They discussed that the KissanAI has helped the government reach out to people in remote and rural areas, and has provided them with real time data to help farmers get better yields.
Suleyman also showcased some of the features that Microsoft is working on and which could be released soon. One of them is called Copilot Vision. This is an intuitive AI model that tracks everything that the user is seeing on a digital screen to offer recommendations in real time. During the demo, Copilot was suggesting recommendations on furniture and clothing styles as the user was surfing the web. All this was happening in real-time. Once released, this feature could help users with real-time web search and recommendations.
Although with such tools, privacy is always an area of concern, an issue that Microsoft recently ran into when it showed the world a tool called Recall, which could completely and totally see and record everything a user was doing on their computer. The idea behind the Recall was to let AI know everything so that users could then use AI to search and organise information. But after backlash, Microsoft took a step back and delayed the launch.
Puneet Chandok said that the company was taking privacy seriously and that AI features would be best used only when users trusted them. “Trusting an AI agent is about knowing it has your back, that it learns with you and grows to understand not just your tasks, but your values,” he said.
