Topics
Satya Nadella: 我在2014年成为微软CEO时,首要目标是重新确立公司的使命和文化。我将微软的使命重新定义为‘赋能全球每一个人和每一个组织,实现更多目标’,并强调‘成长型思维模式’的重要性。这不仅有助于提升员工能力,也为公司的战略和执行奠定了基础。在技术战略上,我们果断选择专注于云计算,并通过将Office扩展到其他平台,确保我们的软件无处不在。这使得我们在云时代占据了有利地位。 在AI领域,我们与OpenAI的合作至关重要。我最初被Codex模型的代码补全功能所震撼,这让我确信AI可以构建出真正有用的产品。我们对AI的投资已持续数十年,并通过GitHub Copilot等产品将AI技术应用于实践。ChatGPT的出现进一步加速了这一进程,我们已经准备好将AI技术应用于更广泛的领域。 我认为,AI的成功最终将体现在对全球经济的积极影响上。衡量AGI是否到来的一个重要标准是发达国家经济增长率能否达到10%,这需要AI技术能够带来广泛的行业生产力提升。 我从多年的板球运动中汲取了很多经验,这教会我竞争、团队合作和长远的眼光。这些经验也深刻地影响了我的领导风格。 Soma Somasegar: (此部分内容在访谈中较少,主要为引导性问题,故此处略去核心论述)
