Microsoft's Satya Nadella Reveals Vision for Generative AI

It's an exciting time in tech. The broad contours of this next platform are just getting clearer and clearer each day. The advances, what's possible, that's what obviously excites us in our industry. But we're also grounded in what's happening in the broader world. Can we use technology to overcome the challenges that people and organizations and countries face? That's really the pursuit here. In fact, that's why way back in 2016 is when we came out with the AI principles. Both we as Microsoft and our partners at OpenAI deeply care about this, such that we can build AI that's more aligned with human values, more aligned with what our preferences are, both individually and as a society. What is it that we should do and what should we build? I think that this technology is going to reshape pretty much every software category we know. We've seen that. If you think about the web, we've had three at least very distinct platform shifts that have shaped the web. The web was born on the PC and the server. Then it evolved with mobile and cloud. And now the question is, how is AI going to reshape the web? We think there are two things that are emerging. One is this conversational intelligent agents. I think they're going to be things that we are going to have everywhere we go. All computer interaction is going to be mediated with an agent helping you. In fact, we're going to have this notion of a co-pilot that's going to be there across every application canvas. And so we want to show you some of this innovation, starting with how it's going to reshape the largest software category on planet Earth, search. And it's a new day in search. It's a new paradigm for search. In fact, a race starts today in terms of what you can expect. And we're going to move. We're going to move fast. And for us, every day, we want to bring out new things. And most importantly, we want to have a lot of fun innovating again in search because it's high time.
