Headlines are, unfortunately, often intentionally fabricated for clickbait purposes. Nadella clearly believes AI is valuable today and will become more so over time. What he actually said, as the text of the article describes, is that he's uninterested in chasing benchmark results because he thinks the real goal of AI should be growing the world GDP at a 10% annual rate.

- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoGDP per capita is quite well correlated with happiness (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-vs-happiness https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-vs-happiness). There’s reasonable concerns about microtargeting, but being able to afford expensive stuff solves quite a lot of the problems that make people unhappy.
- iLoveOncall 2y ago> he thinks the real goal of AI should be growing the world GDP at a 10% annual rate. Hum, no. He is saying the world GDP is currently growing at 10% annual rate, and for AI to have a value it would need to disrupt this and make it grow much faster. > Nadella clearly believes AI is valuable today Despite saying the exact contrary? I'd argue not a single tech CEO sees AI as valuable today. They just don't want to be left in the dust IF it ever becomes valuable.
- chaos_emergent 2y agoThat’s categorically false, world GDP is not growing at 10%. If it was, we’d be doubling the economy every 7 years. That’s a staggering rate of growth
- iLoveOncall 2y agoI'm just quoting the example that Satya used in the interview. He just meant that AI should have a meaningful impact on overall GDP growth to be considered valuable, regardless of the actual current growth rate.
