Microsoft appointed Jay Parikh, a former Meta executive in charge of infrastructure, as its executive vice president for the new artificial intelligence engineering division.

The Redmond-headquartered company has been retooling its AI divisions over the past year, hiring former Inflection CEO Mustafa Suleyman to head Microsoft AI, which oversees the company’s AI-powered Copilot organization and other consumer products. Former Inflection chief scientist Karén Simonyan also left the startup for Microsoft.

The new division at Microsoft will combine its Dev Div and AI Platform teams together, with additional help from other employees.
