Microsoft launches new 6,000-employee AI division to boost business AI deployment
Microsoft is setting up a new organisation with 6,000 employees to help businesses with the technical and strategic work of deploying artificial intelligence.
The division’s workers will have experience across engineering, corporate training and management, as well as within specific industries, Microsoft announced Thursday.
Working more closely with customers will help them implement AI more efficiently and inform Microsoft’s own product development decisions, Judson Althoff, chief executive officer of Microsoft’s commercial business, said in an interview.
