That idea has guided us for decades. But today, it&#8217;s no longer enough.&#8221;The CEO declared that Microsoft&#8217;s future lies not in building software for specific tasks, but in creating AI systems that let anyone build their own intelligent tools and solutions.<\/p>\n<p>From building apps to teaching everyone to build<\/p>\n<p>Nadella outlined a fundamental change in Microsoft&#8217;s approach to technology development. Instead of creating finished software products, the company will focus on empowering users to create their own AI-powered applications.&#8221;It&#8217;s not just about building tools for specific roles or tasks. It&#8217;s about building tools that empower everyone to create their own tools,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;That&#8217;s the shift we are driving\u2013from a software factory to an intelligence engine empowering every person and organisation to build whatever they need to achieve.&#8221;The CEO envisions a world where &#8220;all 8 billion people could summon a researcher, an analyst, or a coding agent at their fingertips, not just to get information but use their expertise to get things done that benefit them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Rebuilds Everything Around AI Technology<\/p>\n<p>Nadella emphasised that this transformation requires redesigning Microsoft&#8217;s entire technology foundation. &#8220;We will reimagine every layer of the tech stack for AI\u2013infrastructure, to the app platform, to apps and agents,&#8221; he stated.The company&#8217;s competitive edge will come from integration rather than individual products. &#8220;Our differentiation will come from how we bring these layers together to deliver end-to-end experiences and products,&#8221; Nadella wrote.This intelligence engine approach aims to create &#8220;local surplus in every company, community, and country,&#8221; democratizing access to powerful AI capabilities previously available only to large corporations and technical experts. \u2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says that the company&#8217;s decades-old identity as a software manufacturer is no longer sufficient,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,6181,31998,31997,31996,696,31995,31994,7219,31993,31992,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-58898","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-bill-gates","12":"tag-democratizing-artificial-intelligence","13":"tag-future-of-microsoft","14":"tag-intelligence-engine","15":"tag-microsoft","16":"tag-microsoft-ai-transformation","17":"tag-microsoft-internal-memo","18":"tag-satya-nadella","19":"tag-satya-nadella-ai-vision","20":"tag-software-factory-to-intelligence-engine","21":"tag-technology","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
