Reading this carefully, the 5000-person group is "AI and Research" not just AI. (5000 people would be a lot to have working on AI.) This group includes Bing, Cortana and the current research group, so there are a lot of people not working directly on AI. That said, it is a significant change in focus, making AI a priority.
