Microsoft creates new AI engineering group led by former Meta executive


Microsoft’s developer division is now all about AI.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella outlined his vision for this new team in an internal memo today, using a cricket reference (his favorite sport) to note that “we’re entering the next innings of this AI platform shift” in 2025 that will “reshape all application categories.” Nadella believes that every part of the application stack will be impacted by AI, and that “thirty years of change is being compressed into three years!” Parikh will lead this new group as the executive vice president of CoreAI - Platform and Tools, after previously being instrumental to Meta’s engineering efforts for more than a decade. He now has a number of other Microsoft executives reporting up to him in his new role, including AI platform chief Eric Boyd, deputy CTO of AI infrastructure Jason Taylor, head of Microsoft’s developer division Julia Liuson, and head of developer infrastructure Tim Bozarth.
