Microsoft has laid off 6,000 employees in a move CEO Satya Nadella described as part of a broad reorganization to accelerate the company’s AI and cloud computing strategy. Nadella emphasized that the layoffs are not performance-related, but rather a shift in resources to areas of higher growth potential, such as generative AI and enterprise cloud services. The tech giant continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure and partnerships, aiming to maintain its leadership in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
