US rivals beginning to use genAI in offensive cyber operations: Microsoft

Microsoft said Wednesday that U.S. adversaries chiefly Iran and North Korea and to a lesser extent Russia and China are beginning to use generative artificial intelligence to mount or organize offensive cyber operations. The technology giant said it detected and disrupted, in collaboration with business partner OpenAI, threats that used or attempted to exploit AI technology they had developed. In a blog post, the Redmond, Washington, company said the techniques were early-stage and neither particularly novel or unique but that it was important to expose them publicly as U.S. rivals leverage large-language models to expand their ability to breach networks and conduct influence operations. Cybersecurity firms have long used machine-learning on defense, principally to detect anomalous behavior in networks. But criminals and offensive hackers use it as well, and the introduction of large-language models led by OpenAI's ChatGPT upped that game of cat-and-mouse. Microsoft has invested

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella caps decade of change, tremendous growth

Satya Nadella marks his tenth year as Microsoft CEO on Sunday, capping a decade of stunning growth as he pivoted the slow-moving software giant into a laser focus on cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Microsoft's stock has soared by more than 1,000% since Nadella took the helm in 2014, compared to the more gradual 185% growth of the broader S&P 500. Microsoft now has a market value of $3 trillion more than any U.S. publicly traded company, including its longtime rival Apple. "Nadella's had the biggest transformation of a tech company potentially ever," said Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives.
