Microsoft, turning 50, dials up Copilot actions to stay in AI game
Redmond: Thousands of people swooned in a dark conference hall that felt more like a rock concert when a Microsoft product manager demonstrated the company's latest feature: how to sum numbers in Excel, with the click of a button. "It was literally like Mick Jagger walked out," said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's consumer chief marketing officer, who started as an intern. He said CEO Bill Gates could devour three books' worth of information from one day to the next, at a time when the co-founder still worked on Microsoft software. Nadella said the company was not simply celebrating its past 50 years but creating a future defined by "what we empower others to build." Asked what he wished for Microsoft at age 100, he said: "I hope Copilot's a good CEO."
