1 - Nadella Pushes Microsoft Into AI Overdrive

Internal sources and interviews reveal that Satya Nadella is pushing major changes to make AI the heart of Microsoft’s operations, viewing it both as a critical challenge and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

  • Executives are being asked to either fully commit to this AI-driven shift or step aside.

  • Nadella has introduced weekly “AI accelerator” meetings, now led by engineers rather than top execs.

  • Significant leadership changes are underway to allow Nadella to focus more on AI science, systems, and infrastructure.

  • Microsoft is reimagining software development, with AI agents becoming the new “production unit.”

    This isn't just a strategic shift—it's a cultural overhaul. Microsoft is realigning its leadership, talent, and processes to prioritize AI’s speed and scale, showing that even giants of Big Tech can’t afford to stand still in the AI era.
