It's also a disconcerting time to be in technology because so many things are changing at once. I think it's honestly harder for some machine learning people than it is for like a brand new entrepreneur who's you know just looking for an interesting thing to go do. Microsoft has a unbelievably wide portfolio of products and now you're on the other side of all the infrastructure questions figuring out the organization of adoption of all these capabilities into that portfolio right. How do you how do you organize that effort?
In this episode, Sarah and Elad speak with Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott about his unlikely journey from rural Virginia to becoming the driving force behind Microsoft's AI strategy.
Sarah and Elad discuss the partnership that Kevin helped forge between Microsoft and OpenAI and explore the vision both companies have for the future of AI. They also discuss yesterday’s announcement of “copilots” across the Microsoft product suite, Microsoft’s GPU computing budget, the potential impact of open source AI models in the tech industry, the future of AI in relation to jobs, why Kevin is bullish on creative and physical work, and predictions for progress in AI this year.
