Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made a groundbreaking prediction for the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at a company event in Berlin: The performance capabilities of AI systems will double every six months. This rapid increase is attributed to a combination of enhanced computing power, more efficient data utilization before and after AI training, and improved algorithms.

“This explosive growth is due to a combination of computing power and the way we use data both before and after AI training,” Nadella explained. He made a comparison to Moore's Law, which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a computer chip approximately every 18 months. “Moore's Law and the Intel architecture already changed everything in the 60s. Today, with the new AI models, we have achieved our goal: computers that understand us, instead of us having to understand them.”

Microsoft positions itself with products like the "Co-Pilot" as a leading provider of AI solutions worldwide. This position is further strengthened by close collaboration with the California start-up OpenAI. Nadella also announced that thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering will be the first company to use the Siemens Industrial Copilot worldwide. This solution, based on the generative AI from Microsoft and OpenAI, aims to significantly improve automation and efficiency in industrial processes and optimize collaboration between humans and machines.

The natural user interface is something we have always strived for," emphasized Nadella. With the new AI models, Microsoft has now achieved this goal, laying the foundation for a revolutionary change in the interaction between humans and technology.

The positive development is reflected in the stock price: In NASDAQ trading, Microsoft's stock temporarily rose by 0.12 percent to $425.10. Experts see strong growth potential for the AI industry in Nadella's forecast; however, challenges remain in the implementation and scaling of such technologies.
