Honestly this sounds like CEO-ish for, "Yes, we can build a similar product but don't necessarily have all the IP." If there was a simple answer to the interviewer's question, he would have given it. I feel like there's a word count threshold for CEO utterances that is a pretty reliable test for bullshit.
- TillE 3y agoNadella certainly knows how to be evasive like that, but "all of the rights to continue the innovation" seems like a pretty direct claim that they can just pick up where OpenAI left off without any significant setbacks. It's business-speak rather than technical/legal, but I don't know how else someone could reasonably interpret that.

- davesque 3y agoPerhaps you can interpret it as saying, "Yes, we're a separate business, we have a right to innovate." These are the ways that people justify lying to themselves. And it's practically a CEO's job to lie to investors.
- alasdair_ 3y ago"continue the innovation" doesn't really mean anything concrete.
- pdonis 3y agoThe underlying basis for his statement could be, not that MS has the necessary rights to all this wonderful OpenAI secret sauce, but that MS knows enough to know that there isn't any secret sauce--whatever they don't have rights to is not worth it anyway.
