Speaker 1: In the past few days, Satya Nadella has been front
Speaker 1: and center of major developments that could define the next
Speaker 1: chapter of his leadership at Microsoft and leave a lasting
Speaker 1: mark on both his biography and the tech world. This week,
Speaker 1: protests by Microsoft employees, both current and former, have made
Speaker 1: national headlines, with the Associated Press and Kuow Seattle reporting
Speaker 1: on activists kayaking across Lake Washington all the way to
Speaker 1: the Della's own home. They displayed banners accusing Microsoft leadership,
Speaker 1: including Medella, of complicity and ongoing military conflicts, specifically pressuring
Speaker 1: the company to sever its business ties with the Israeli government.
Speaker 1: Not just isolated actions, these demonstrations escalated to occupations at
Speaker 1: Microsoft's Redmond headquarters and resulted in several arrests, all highlighting
Speaker 1: a growing movement of employee activism that Nadella cannot ignore.
Speaker 1: But business never sleeps for Satya Nadella. Yesterday, during his
Speaker 1: keynote at the Microsoft Build event, a moment widely covered
Speaker 1: and getting hundreds of likes and comments on Instagram, Nadella
Speaker 1: re emphasized Microsoft's pivot toward what he called the intelligence economy.
Speaker 1: This signals that under his watch, Microsoft is doubling down
Speaker 1: on AI and automation, trying to cement its role as
Speaker 1: the backbone of global productivity and software innovation for the
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. On the business side, major news arrived as
Speaker 1: Forbes and AOL covered Medella's excitement over Microsoft's quantum computing breakthrough.
Speaker 1: On the Q four fiscal year twenty twenty five earnings call,
Speaker 1: he announced what he described as the world's first operational
Speaker 1: deployment of a level two quantum computer, a milestone that
Speaker 1: positions Microsoft at the edge of the next cloud acceleration wave.
Speaker 1: Medella was quoted expressing that quantum is now the next
Speaker 1: big accelerator in the cloud, possibly hinting at a future
Speaker 1: where today's AI race will be dwarfed by the coming
Speaker 1: quantum arms race. For investors and tech watchers alike, this
Speaker 1: marks a biographical inflection point, showing Nadella not just as
Speaker 1: a leader of tech transformation, but as a pioneer venturing
Speaker 1: into frontiers that could change computing forever. Social media continues
Speaker 1: to amplify his voice, as highlighted by Father Khan, which
Speaker 1: named Satia Adela among the top AI influencers to follow
Speaker 1: in the US for twenty twenty five. His posts routinely
Speaker 1: emphasize responsible AI, strategic partnerships, and Microsoft's ongoing mission to
Speaker 1: empower people globally. There is also an undercurrent of rivalry
Speaker 1: and defense, as seen in recent interactions where he directly
Speaker 1: responded to Elon Musk's sharp commentary about OpenAI and Microsoft,
Speaker 1: making sure his narrative of collaboration and innovation gets the
Speaker 1: final word. Thank you for tuning in to Satia adella
