Microsoft CEO Nadella is making a cricket app in his free time
"Microsoft Corp.'s Satya Nadella, a die-hard cricket fan, has been spending his free time coding and designing his own app that he used to analyze the centuries-old game. The Microsoft chief executive officer talked Thursday about how he combined two of his passions when he designed a Deep Research AI app over Thanksgiving. He then used it to select a team of all-time greats in Indian test cricket, for starters. The system produced consensus areas, debates, reasoning chains, everything."
"The app will come in handy for Nadella, who has been investing in cricket teams. Alongside other tech executives, he was part of consortium that paid 147 million ($182 million) for a 49% share of UK team the London Spirit. He is also a co-owner of the Seattle Orcas, a professional T20 cricket team, close to where Microsoft is headquartered. Nadella is meeting business and political leaders in India this week."
"Microsoft pledged to invest $17.5 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud computing in the country over four years, targeting the world's most populous nation for growth. The chief executive was born in southern India and studied engineering there before heading to the US for graduate studies. Nadella has credited cricket for teaching him leadership, persistence and team work.
