Summary
Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella proclaimed a “new paradigm” on Tuesday in a keynote at the company’s Build conference in San Francisco. After taking an early lead in the AI race by forging a close alliance with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI beginning in 2019, Microsoft, and OpenAI, are both now playing catch-up in a heated field of rivals that include Google, Anthropic, Meta, and even SpaceX. As Nadella kicked off the company’s conference on Tuesday, the CEO delivered a message designed to show the strength and breadth of Microsoft’s AI initiatives, and to re-ignite some of the buzz the company had at the onset of the AI revolution a few years ago. If there was one unifying theme to the sweep of product announcements and partnerships made by company executives, it’s that Microsoft’s portfolio of technology—from AI models to devices to chips—anchors it at the center of the AI industry. “It’s a new paradigm,” Nadella said of the agentic era.
