Microsoft CEO warns AI could hollow out entire industries [View all]

Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella in a 748-word post on X Sunday warned of a future where companies are "ceding value to a few (artificial intelligence) models that eat everything they see."

“If all the value is accrued by only a few models, the political economy will simply not tolerate it,” Nadella wrote. “There is no societal permission for an AI future that hollows out entire industries.”

His comments come as companies like Uber and Amazon have started to question their own use of AI as a measure of productivity — and as public backlash against AI continues to mount.

Nadella drew a parallel to expanding globalization and associated outsourcing.
