Microsoft put an ex-Facebook exec in charge of a new AI unit. Internal memos reveal how it's going.
Briefly

Microsoft is embarking on an initiative it calls the 'age of AI agents,' led by CEO Satya Nadella and the newly appointed Jay Parikh, who heads a unit called CoreAI. With a focus on creating advanced digital personal assistants that can operate autonomously in various tasks, Microsoft is restructuring its teams to integrate advanced AI capabilities. Parikh's previous experiences at Meta and Laceworks position him uniquely to fulfill this vision. This new phase reflects Nadella's strategy of infusing the company with external talent to foster innovation.
Nadella's strategy involves hiring top talent from other tech firms to infuse fresh ideas and change Microsoft’s operational dynamics, enhancing its AI-driven future.
The establishment of the CoreAI unit under Jay Parikh signifies Microsoft's commitment to developing AI agents that can effectively manage tasks traditionally performed by humans.
