Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warns of potential public backlash due to AIs massive energy use, emphasizing the need for tech companies to earn public trust and demonstrate positive impact. He acknowledges the strain on power grids from AIs rapid expansion and data center growth, stressing that public acceptance requires widespread economic growth. Nadella downplays AI as an investment bubble, citing Azures 40% revenue increase as evidence of real, large-scale revenue generation. He also mentions Microsofts careful capital spending and globally distributed AI infrastructure with strong controls.
