To hire staff but with more AI focus: Microsoft CEO amid layoffs
Amid layoffs, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the technology company will increase its headcount but with more "AI leverage". "It’s the unlearning and learning process that I think will take the next year or so, then the headcount growth will come with max leverage," Nadella added. Notably, Microsoft has laid off over 15,000 people so far in 2025.
