Microsoft's AI Ambitions
Microsoft is making a push to become the biggest company in the world again by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). In recent years, Microsoft's focus has shifted towards AI, with CEO Satya Nadella leading the charge. The company is using its cloud platform, Azure, to sell AI to its customers and has partnered with OpenAI to incorporate AI technology into its software offerings. This strategy has been well-received by investors, with Microsoft's market value rising by almost $2 trillion since Nadella took over. Despite strong competition from other tech giants, Microsoft hopes that AI will help it regain its position at the top.
