Still trying to evict elite Russian government hackers, says Microsoft

Microsoft said on Friday it's still trying to evict the elite Russian government hackers who broke into the email accounts of senior company executives in November and who it said have been trying to breach customer networks with stolen access data. The hackers from Russia's SVR foreign intelligence service used data obtained in the intrusion, which it disclosed in mid-January, to compromise some source-code repositories and internal systems, the software giant said in a blog and a regulatory filing. A company spokesman would not characterise what source code was accessed and what capability the hackers gained to further compromise customer and Microsoft systems. Microsoft said on Friday that the hackers stole secrets from email communications between the company and unspecified customers cryptographic secrets such as passwords, certificates and authentication keys and that it was reaching out to them to assist in taking mitigating measures.

Satya Nadella announces expansion of 'Code Without Barrier' programme

Microsoft Chief Satya Nadella on Thursday announced the expansion of Microsoft's 'Code Without Barriers' programme to India, aiming to train 75,000 women developers by 2024. The programme is to democratise access to tech skills nationwide, the chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft said, as he spoke about the impact Indian developers are making in accelerating AI innovation globally during his address to 1,100 developers and technology leaders at the Microsoft AI Tour here. "One of the things that I'm very excited also is to bring one of the initiatives which we've had called Code Without Barriers, and expanding to India and really helping 75,000 women developers by 2024," Nadella said. According to Microsoft, "Code Without Barriers" programme will be expanded to India this month, as the company aims to democratise access to tech skills nationwide.

Nadella pitches for India, US cooperation on AI norms, other regulations

Microsoft chief Satya Nadella on Wednesday pitched for greater cooperation between India and the US on artificial intelligence regulations and other norms. The India-born chairman and chief executive officer of the global tech giant said such a partnership can help in equal distribution of economic growth. AI is a powerful new technology that needs to be "diffused" fast to every corner of the world, Nadella said at an event organised by the company here. "I think it's imperative especially for India and the United States to be able to cooperate, what are the norms, what are the regulations even, instead of fracturing them," Nadella, who is on a two-day visit to the country, said. He was replying to a question on cooperation between the US and India on AI. He also announced that Microsoft will provide 20 lakh people in India with AI skilling opportunities by 2025. Nadella said AI can help boost GDP growth in the country, and called India as one of the highest growth markets.

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. The only one that would rival it was (Steve) Jobs coming back to Apple and turning it around with the iPhone. Microsoft has created $2.8 trillion in shareholder wealth in the past decade, meaning an investor who bought a $10,000 stake in Microsoft at the time Nadella took over and did nothing with those shares, would have a stake worth about $113,000 now.

What AI can do to science, will be most interesting: Satya Nadella

Artificial Intelligence may have given new tools to science, but the most interesting thing to watch out for will be what it can do to accelerate science, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella said on Tuesday. He also dismissed concerns that AI cannot be governed or regulated. "There is nothing that cannot be controlled or governed by humankind for better use and this is one of the easiest and simplest technologies. What is needed is that it is governed properly and I'm sure it will happen," Nadella said. He also said that the last thing the world needs is technology creating a divide and "we need to be watchful of it". Speaking at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2024, Microsoft's Chairman and CEO said Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been gaining a lot of scale recently with the advent of ChatGPT and many other platforms. "First time, I actually became a believer was when I saw GitHub Copilot, that actually made me a convert," he said. "But, what AI will do to science is probabl
