How Microsoft could supplant Apple as the world’s most valuable firm

Livemint · 1y

Microsoft is betting big on generative AI, introducing its AI-powered chatbot, "Copilot," into various aspects of its business. Copilot can summarize documents, answer questions, create PowerPoint presentations, and more. With the potential to transform desk jobs, Microsoft aims to bring this technology to the 1.2 billion users of Microsoft 365 and the 1.4 billion users of Windows. The company's investment in OpenAI allows it to integrate cutting-edge AI into its products, potentially driving business towards its high-margin cloud service, Azure, and reclaiming the title of the world's most valuable public company from Apple. However, competition and regulatory concerns may pose challenges to Microsoft's ambitions.
