Whereas Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says he likes podcasts, he won’t really be listening to them anymore.
That tidbit comes in the direction of the top of a longer Bloomberg profile of Nadella, with a give attention to Microsoft’s AI technique and its difficult relationship with OpenAI. For example how a lot he makes use of the corporate’s Copilot AI assistant in his every day life, Nadella stated that as a substitute of listening to podcasts, he now uploads the transcripts to Copilot, then talks to Copilot in regards to the content material throughout his drive to the workplace.
As well as, Nadella — who jokingly described his job as “electronic mail typist” — stated he depends on at the very least 10 customized brokers developed in Copilot Studio to summarize emails and messages, put together for conferences, and carry out different duties across the workplace.
AI already appears to be reworking Microsoft in additional substantial methods, with programers reportedly the toughest hit within the firm’s current layoffs, shortly after Nadella declared that 30% of the corporate’s code was written by AI.
