Microsoft’s Nadella is building an AI empire. OpenAI was just the first step.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is aggressively expanding the company's AI capabilities by amassing AI talent, tools, and technology. While Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI, Nadella has been building an in-house AI team to compete with his own partner. He recruited Mustafa Suleyman, a rival of OpenAI's co-founder, to lead Microsoft's AI efforts. Suleyman's team has developed their own AI model that could potentially replace OpenAI's technology in some Microsoft products. Nadella's strategy aims to keep Microsoft ahead in the AI race amidst competition from Google, Apple, and Amazon.
