Satya Nadella The man who has helmed Microsoft since 2014 talks AI, jobs, and the case for developing the new technology despite growing concerns
What is going to change in the workplace with the adoption of AI?
AI is moving from being autopilot to being a co-pilot that helps us at our work. You put the human in the center, and then create this tool around them that empowers them and takes the drudgery away from work. How much time do we spend just coordinating and how much time do we spend creating-which is what gives us real joy? If we can tilt that balance towards more creativity, we will all be better off.
What are you doing to address concerns about job loss?
One of the things that I'm most excited about is how [AI] democratizes access to new skills. That will be a massive increase in total developers, because the barriers to being a software developer are going to come down.
Would you agree to any limits on use of AI for military applications?

The fractured agenda
BY THE TIME NEGOTIATORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD gathered in the Amazonian city of Belém in November to discuss the future of climate action, the world had already experienced an alarming year: near-record global temperatures, unprecedented heat waves across continents, and extreme flooding that scientists say would have been virtually impossible without human-driven warming.
