Nadella: Google Should Have Led AI Race But Microsoft Stealing Narrative
-
Satya Nadella said Google should have been the "default winner" of the AI race given its resources and vertically integrated structure.
-
Nadella made the comments amid calls for Google CEO Sundar Pichai to step down following issues with the release of Google's AI image generator.
-
A senior Google engineer said last year the company isn't "positioned to win this arms race."
-
In contrast, Microsoft has controlled the AI narrative through investments in OpenAI and products like Copilot.
-
However, Microsoft has also faced issues with its AI tools producing harmful content, which Nadella acknowledged can have "unintended issues."
