Satya Nadella of Microsoft prefers chatbots over podcasts

You might think Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, is a podcast junkie. But while he confesses an affection for them, he might be spending less time tuning into them these days. This intriguing revelation emerges towards the end of 'a comprehensive Bloomberg profile of Nadella', with an emphasis on the company's AI blueprint and 'its complex ties with OpenAI'.

To show how deeply integrated AI is in his routine, Nadella shares he no longer listens to podcast broadcasts. Instead, he uploads podcast transcripts onto his Copilot AI assistant and enjoys conversational discussions about the content on his drive to work.

Want to know more about his daily work life? Describing his role in a tongue-in-cheek way as an "email typist", Nadella relies on a cadre of at least 10 customized agents created in Copilot Studio, helping him digest emails, ready him for meetings, and ease various other office chores.

The future is now, folks! The impact of AI at Microsoft appears to be drastic; developers have been 'heavily bearing the brunt' amidst recent job cuts in the company. This follows closely on the heels of Nadella's announcement that almost a third of Microsoft's coding is now automated.
