‘AI is a tool, do not treat it like humans’: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, transforming modern life and integrating humanising tools. However, Chief Executive of Microsoft Satya Nadella has a different take on this. Referring to the current practice of attributing human qualities to machines, Nadella told Bloomberg Television, “I don’t like anthropomorphising AI. I sort of believe it’s a tool.”

Nadella said, he even dislikes the term “artificial intelligence” itself, coined in the 1950s. “I think one of the most unfortunate names is ‘artificial intelligence’. I wish we had called it ‘different intelligence’,” Microsoft CEO said.
