Microsoft is launching the Advanced Planning Unit (APU) within its AI division to investigate the societal, health, and work implications of AI. This initiative aligns with Microsoft's growth strategy, particularly as AI products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge become increasingly central to the company's operations. CEO Satya Nadella emphasized the necessity of this unit in light of the record-high capital expenditures aimed at meeting AI demand.
The APU will focus on cutting-edge research and product recommendations, while also organizing events and publications to enhance understanding of AI's future. Hiring efforts will target experts from various fields, including economics and psychology, to capture the rapid evolution of AI technology. This move follows the establishment of CoreAI, another internal unit aimed at prioritizing AI development within Microsoft.
