I'm here 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: in Redmend, Washington with Microsoft CEO Sacha Nadala with some 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: big unveilings at Build today. 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: Sacha, thank you so much for joining us. 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 2: You've got a new version of Windows powered by AI 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: that basically means you have your own AI agent on 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: your own device. How will this AI powered hardware experience 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: be totally different from what we've seen before? 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: First, well, thank you so much for having me Emily 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 3: end up. 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's really a ground up, you know, 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 4: reimagination from Silicon So we have a new SoC that 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 4: has the NPU. So think about it as we've always 15 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 4: had CPUs and GPUs and now you have newler processing 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 4: units to in fact locally process these AI models. We 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 4: have forty plus AI models that are local. 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: On Window. 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 4: Those machines that then are being used by a variety 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 4: of experiences that we are built into Windows, starting with 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 4: this photographic memory feature called Recall, which is just phenomenal. 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 4: And of course Copilot is built in to Windows and 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: Copilot is just not an app, it's sort of a 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 4: shell affordance that's going to be there assisting you as 25 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 4: you be. Showed a demo of somebody playing Minecraft, and 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 4: you know me just sharing my Minecraft screen with Copilot, 27 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 4: and Copilot helps me finally me as competitive with my 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 4: daughter on Minecraft has always dreamed of, right and so, 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 4: and then of course the third parties, I mean, Adobe 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 4: showed how they're take bringing all of what they do 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 4: to Copilot plus PC's and many many more other developers. 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 4: So it's an exciting day for us to have a 33 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 4: complete rethink on the full stack of windows for the AI. 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: Ah, I bet you're pretty good on Minecraft just a hunch. 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: This new feature recall means your computer basically has a 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: photographic memory of. 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Everything you do on it. 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: And the speed at which this is all happening is 39 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: just so fast. It seems so unpressed. How will this 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: really make things different for consumers and change our daily routines? 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if you think about the PC, it 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: has always been about you know, creating things right, which 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 4: is it's about being able to synthesize lots of information, 44 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: create new information, pass better judgment, gain insights, and act. Right, 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: that's what you sort of do on a PC. AI 46 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: is an assistant AI helps you, as a as an 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: end user, do anything right. One of the most beautiful 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: demos today was even this thing called co Create. Right. 49 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 4: I am in paint and I'm painting a nice spring 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: Seattle day and I want mountains with wildflowers, and I 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 4: can now have the AI assistant that painter and me 52 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: now can be inspired by AI. But ultimately I am 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: the one painting and I get that satisfactor like I feel. 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 4: One of the things that's been one of my coworkers 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: was telling me when her five year old is saying, 56 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: for the first time, give me designer time. That's what felt, 57 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 4: you know, it feels like in the late eighties and 58 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 4: the early nineties when we all got fell in love 59 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: with PCs, that was what really gods going, which is 60 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 4: the ability to use computers to create. And I think 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: this AI is just going to take it to the 62 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 4: next level. 63 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: Microsoft has had trouble keeping up with some of the 64 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: new cutting edge Max and you did do a lot 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: of side by side comparisons today. Have you narrowed the 66 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: gap today truly? And how much share do you think 67 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 2: you can take from Apple? 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think today was a day where 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: we brought some of the efforts that we've had for 70 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: a long time all into focus and really brought cohesiveness 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: to them. For example, we've been on this journey to 72 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 4: bring I call it arm based PCs for a while. 73 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 4: Finally we now have the best ARM processors, which are 74 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 4: really the performance of the CPU itself is cutting edge. 75 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: Then you combine it with the NPU and these experiences. 76 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 4: I think we are now going to start just like 77 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 4: you know, when it comes to the cloud. 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: Let me take you another one, right, which is. 79 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: When we were We came from second and what became 80 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 4: a leader in the AI age on the cloud. 81 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: I hope on the PC we bring good competition. I mean, 82 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: Apple has done a fantastic job. 83 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 4: We now want to bring real competition back to the 84 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: Windows versus Mac. 85 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: When it comes to the aihe. 86 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: You've been doing a lot of unique deals to move quickly, 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 2: for example, this six hundred and fifty million dollar investment 88 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: in Inflection. 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: You hire the team, you hire the co founder, must 90 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: office Suliman. Are you at all. 91 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: Worried that regulators are going to crack down on investments 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: and aqua hires the way they have cracked down on 93 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: M and A like. 94 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: Do you wish you could be buying these companies outright. 95 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: I mean, look, I mean the regulators have to do 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: what they have to do to make sure that ultimately 97 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 4: there's competition, right, I mean, if that is the case, 98 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 4: then I think I think one of the fundamental things 99 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 4: that I think all regulators need to stay rounded on 100 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: is where is competition? 101 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: What are the sources of competition, and how. 102 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 4: To foster them? To me, that's what we're doing right today. 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: There is formidable amount of competition, right, whether it is 104 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 4: between the big players or the small pla and there's 105 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: partnerships are also a source of competition. So I don't 106 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: think that this is about any one company acquiring or 107 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 4: not acquiring, But it's about competition. And as long as 108 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 4: regulators focused on that and we focus on it, I 109 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 4: think we'll be fine. 110 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: Microsoft just took a big stake in the Abu Dhabi 111 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: AI company G forty two. 112 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: Brad Smith joined the board. 113 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: This is a company that at least at one point 114 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: had ties to China. So there do seem to be 115 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 2: some big geopolitical implications here. 116 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: Is this your play in a tech cold war? 117 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 4: You know, first of all, you know it is important 118 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: for us to be grounded on the fact that we're 119 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 4: a multinational company, but that also happens to be an 120 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,559 Speaker 4: American company. So we did this partnership with G forty 121 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 4: two and the UAE, with sort of the real involvement 122 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 4: of the US government as well, where the US government 123 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 4: has now an assurance program with the UAE, which both 124 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 4: the government, you know, it's a state to state agreement, 125 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 4: and that allowed us in fact created the conditions for 126 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: G forty. 127 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: Two and Microsoft to come together. 128 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 4: But I think it's important for us as a company 129 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,119 Speaker 4: to be grounded in the fact that we need great 130 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 4: partners who then allow us to expand what we are 131 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 4: doing globally, right because at the end of the day, 132 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: one of my dreams has always been Emily that can 133 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 4: the you know, the information revolution, perhaps after the Industrial 134 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 4: Revolution was magical in the sense that it diffused fast 135 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 4: around the world, but this intelligence revolution, to me, can 136 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 4: even take it even to the next level, right, which 137 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: is when people in the Middle East, or whether it's 138 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 4: in Asia or Africa or Latin America can enjoy the 139 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 4: benefits of this technological wave. That's not going to that's 140 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 4: going to require real partnerships, And I'm very, very excited 141 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: about this one. 142 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: Open Ai is your closest partner in Microsoft hit history. 143 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: They just released a chat GPT app for Mac before Windows, 144 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: and we're reporting the same as going to happen for 145 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: the iPhone. How do you balance partnering with them and 146 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: competing for their attention? 147 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 148 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 4: First of all, you know, like open Ai, you know, 149 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: will decide how to prioritize platforms and and how to 150 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: really go about managing their roadmap. 151 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 3: Would be very excited. 152 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 4: In fact, you know, I'm thrilled to you know today 153 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 4: when you saw the launch, we basically took gpto and 154 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: made it part of Core Pilot. So Windows is going 155 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 4: to have some of the latest innovation from open Ai 156 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 4: and the latest innovation from Microsoft built into Windows. So therefore, 157 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: I'm thrilled about their prioritization of the Mac. 158 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Chat GPT four. Oh is you know, it's pretty big? 159 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 4: Wow. 160 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: Have you tried chat GPT five? 161 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: So that the latest? Oh? 162 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course? 163 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: What about the next one? We hear reasons you mean, 164 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: so the. 165 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: Next version, which I believe is not been named, so 166 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 4: I don't want to talk for them, but you know, look, 167 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 4: I think open Ai as a company has really focused 168 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: a lot on not only moving the frontier forward, but 169 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: also doing it with really safety first, and so they're 170 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: very carefully thinking about what's the next big model. But 171 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 4: the thing that GPTO like, I don't want to understate 172 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 4: the innovation in what they just launched last week, right, 173 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: which is just the first time they've been able to 174 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: bring ultimodal capabilities natively into the model. And you're seeing 175 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: it like in the wild as you use copilot or 176 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: chat GPT you can see the power. 177 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: You know. 178 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 4: It's most people think, oh, GPT four came out what 179 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 4: fifteen sixteen months ago, but it's not been static. It 180 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: has been continuously getting better and we're excited about it. 181 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: So on that note, you stress trust a lot in 182 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: your keynote today, But there have been renewed concerns over 183 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: the week and about safety at open AI. More key 184 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: employees have left, one saying safety has taken a backseat to. 185 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: Shiny new products. 186 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 2: What kind of conversations have you had with Sam Molman 187 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: about this look. 188 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 4: I mean, at least one of the fundamental things that 189 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: broad Open Air and Microsoft together way back even in 190 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen was that focus on how do we make 191 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 4: sure that we could make progress. At that time, it 192 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 4: is not even clearest whether things will even work the 193 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 4: way they work, right, But even there, that company was 194 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: very grounded on their mission around Hey, we want to 195 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 4: bring the benefits of this to the broadest set of 196 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 4: audience and do it safely. So and that requires, at 197 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: least in my mind, I fall into the camp of 198 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: iterative development of it. Right, you got you can't just 199 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 4: be in the lab. You have to get it into 200 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 4: the real world. See the adversarial attacks, make the safety 201 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: harnesses better. That doesn't mean you don't take safety first 202 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 4: as the most important feature. In fact, I say, even 203 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 4: at Microsoft, which is the most important feature of Azure 204 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: AI is our safety service, because that's what even gives 205 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: us permission to deploy anything. 206 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: You can't just deploy. 207 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: I mean, if I take the base model, like even 208 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: take today's announcement, it's just so important, right, Windows now 209 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 4: will have forty plus models that are going to be 210 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: onboard on Windows. But guess what, in order to keep 211 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 4: them safe, we will use the Azure AI service because 212 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: we will be learning every hour of every day what 213 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 4: is the new adversarial attack, and that knowledge, that learning 214 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 4: will keep all the AI models safe. Because the next 215 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 4: jail break that happens, we'll learn about it and make 216 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 4: sure that that doesn't happen on the local model. And 217 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 4: so that's I think the only way we're going to 218 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: keep AI. 219 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: Safe, all right, Microsoft CEA, oh saucha nidala, thank you 220 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 2: so much for joining us. I'm going to send it 221 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,239 Speaker 2: back to you guys, and thanks to our Bloomberg television 222 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: and radio audiences,
