“Teach me the pasta!” That is what Satya Nadella wants. That the AI shows the pasta. Give (a lot) money. It is something that Microsoft and Openai have already referred to both. For these companies, AGI’s definition is precisely linked to money, and have established that An AGI will not be an AGI until you give 100,000 million benefit. That argument now serves Microsoft’s CEO to talk about the fact that AI has not revolutionized anything.
From agi nothing. In one recent interview With the Dwarkesh Patel podcast, Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, made some important statements in which her position was clear about the current situation of the artificial intelligence segment. To begin with, he indicated that “that we claim that a milestone has been achieved in AGI It is only to hack the meaningless evidence “, that is, to give greater importance to the benchmarks they really have.
And of revolution, either. In fact, the best metric to measure the success of the AI segment is simple: it should increase the gross domestic product of any country.
“When we say: ‘Oh, this is like the industrial revolution’, we should have that type of growth that caused the industrial revolution. For me, that means 10%, 7%for the developed world. Adjusted to inflation, growing at 5%, that is the real marker.”
AI needs a ‘Killer app‘… Nadella commented how that growth has not yet occurred because most users have not yet understood how to use AI effectively. It is the same that happened with the PC, it took time to find its place and demonstrate its potential.
… like what Excel and email achieved. Microsoft’s CEO remembered how before the PC, email and spreadsheets, companies made their business forecasts almost handmade: “Faxes circulated, someone received them and then made a memorandum between offices that then circulated, and people introduced figures, and in the end a forecast came out perhaps right in time for the next quarter.” But then Excel arrived and email and revolutionion that type of task, like many others. “That is what we need to happen with AI when it is introduced into jobs in the field of knowledge.”
The AI will supervitaminar. The debate on the impact of AI on work is constant, but for Nadella this technology will help us extraordinarily. Thus it will allow any worker to focus on high value tasks, and not on routine tasks that can be automated. He joked talking about the amount of time dedicated to filtering his email, and how to avoid that will be an exceptional time and productivity gain.
The AI not only does not give money, but it loses it. The vast majority of large companies that are betting on AI and developing large language models are losing money, and they are also losing it to beast. Openai is the best example of Burn money as if there were no tomorrowbut it is also the best positioned to win that race.
But this is a bet. In fact, probably the greatest in history. It is demonstrated by the colossal investments that Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, or Google are doing to create data centers dedicated to AI. All of them will dedicate dozens of millions of dollars to that taskand they will even when it is not clear that AI will be profitable. Of course, these companies believe it will be, and much.
