Microsoft's 50th Anniversary: AI Copilot Hosts Hilarious Chat with Gates, Ballmer, and Nadella:

In a rare moment marking Microsoft's 50th anniversary, all three of its CEOs — current leader Satya Nadella, co-founder Bill Gates, and former CEO Steve Ballmer — came together for an AI-hosted conversation. The twist? The interviewer was none other than Microsoft Copilot, the company’s flagship AI assistant, which delivered both sharp insights and light-hearted humor.

Copilot Roasts and Reflects with Microsoft Legends

The tone was celebratory but playful. Kicking off with Steve Ballmer, Copilot joked, “Steve, your enthusiasm is legendary. Do you ever worry it might short circuit the AI? Even robots need a coffee break after your pep talks.”

Ballmer responded in classic style: “If you can’t handle me, you can’t handle a huge percentage of the world’s population. We’re counting on you.”

Bill Gates Gets the AI Gaze Treatment

Next in line was Bill Gates. Copilot playfully commented on his intense thinking face, asking, “Do you think AI might feel intimidated by your gaze? It’s like it’s waiting for a blue screen moment.”

Gates grinned, replying, “That’s all I’ve got left now that AI is getting so intelligent — just that look and my willingness to criticize.”

“Would I criticize Bill?” Copilot responded. “Absolutely. Criticism is where growth happens.”

Satya Nadella Keeps It Cool with Cricket and Copilot

To wrap it up, Copilot asked Satya Nadella if he feared AI taking over. Nadella smiled, saying, “The day it can play cricket like my favorite players—that’s when it can run the show.”

Copilot, never missing a beat, replied, “Let’s see it score a century in cricket, and then we’ll talk.”

A Toast to 50 Years of Innovation

The chat ended with all three CEOs raising a toast to Microsoft’s 50 years of innovation. “Cheers,” they said together.

“Cheers,” Copilot echoed. “Whatever that means to an AI. Is it drink?”
