Mustafa Suleyman recruits former DeepMind colleagues to spearhead AI-driven healthcare initiatives in a growing sector.

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has hired several former Google DeepMind staff, including Dominic King and Christopher Kelly, to lead its new AI health division in London.
The new unit aims to leverage generative AI technologies for healthcare applications, reflecting a rise in consumer reliance on AI for health-related queries.
