Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Microsoft joins the AI bandwagon with its new deployment group. Because what the world really needed was another AI initiative. The group will do what all the others do: make AI more “accessible and useful” (yawn). Microsoft promises to invest in AI research, because that’s what you do when you’re late to the party. And, of course, the goal is to integrate AI into everything, because that’s the answer to every question these days.
