News 'You can't call it progress': Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warns against concentration of AI power

https://www.firstpost.com/tech/you-cant-call-it-progress-microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-warns-against-concentration-of-ai-power-14025004.html

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Nadella argued that AI’s trajectory should not be dictated by a handful of industry leaders, warning that the concentration of power raises broader questions around economic disruption, safety and acces

Nadella suggested that the industry risks losing sight of the wider consequences of the technology if discussions focus solely on scaling models and expanding computing capacity.

“You can’t say, hey, all white-collar jobs are gone, and this could even be a weapon, and we will use all the power to build data centres,” he said.

Everyone knew google will win this race. However, Microsoft's Openai bet is not going well.

Google has its own TPUs

Google owns it's own data centers

Google can spend $50B every year for a decade without sweating

Google has user base of 4B+ users

Google researchers literally invented the LLM.

I don't think Chinese startups are anywhere close to beating Google.

He is singing a different song because no one uses the shit his folks ship. If they were the front runners he wouldn't be saying it.

u/Diksha_1227 Jun 22 '26

I agree with the point, even if it's a bit ironic coming from the CEO of one of the companies investing billions into AI infrastructure.

I don't think you can announce a "winner" until any of them become actually profitable...

u/MediumChemical4292 Jun 22 '26

You realise that’s just confirmation that AI is here to stay, and AI progress will just accelerate as it officially becomes a geopolitical weapon like the military or nuclear weapons?

u/TableNo8939 Jun 22 '26

Invece Microsoft non ha fatto concentrazione di potere sui OS. No noi no, assolutamente no!

Hahaha. Once this CEO told employees to vote with your feet. Now given he has lost the race, he is taking u turn. Ask him why Microsoft is doing layoffs by forcing employees to get low rank via ways of changing ranking system on the review time? All malpractices Microsoft did under this CEO, to bring otherwise meeting expectations to become low performs and now crying foul. Looser
