Microsoft reorganizes its divisions: a new strategy for Artificial Intelligence

Microsoft has announced a strategic reorganization that marks a turning point in its vision for artificial intelligence.
The company has created two new dedicated divisions: Microsoft AI and CoreAI – Platform and Tools, with the goal of accelerating the development of advanced, ethical, and human-centered Generative AI solutions.
This move confirms Microsoft’s strong commitment to Enterprise AI, Multimodal AI, and the adoption of the Agentic AI paradigm—making innovation more accessible and scalable.

Microsoft AI: towards a “Humanistic Superintelligence”

The new Microsoft AI division will be led by Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection, and Karén Simonyan, an expert in large language models.
Their mission is to oversee consumer products such as Copilot, Bing, and Edge, introducing a vision centered on Humanistic Superintelligence—an artificial intelligence designed to enhance human capabilities while avoiding the dystopian narratives often associated with AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

Within this framework, AI governance, AI ethics, and data governance become essential principles.
Microsoft aims to design AI that is not only powerful but also responsible and transparent.

CoreAI: the platform for intelligent agents and AI applications

Alongside Microsoft AI, the new division CoreAI – Platform and Tools will serve as the technological foundation for Microsoft’s AI ecosystem.
It will be led by Jay Parikh and will integrate key teams such as the Developer Division, AI Platform, and the Office of the CTO.
The goal is to build the complete technology stack for intelligent agents and enterprise applications based on Generative AI and Agentic AI, including GitHub Copilot.

This infrastructure aims to support Multimodal AI integration—text, image, video, and data—allowing developers and organizations to adopt advanced AI solutions that are simple, scalable, and built with solid governance.

A strategic and cultural shift

Microsoft’s reorganization represents a profound transformation in how the company manages its investments and priorities.
Resources are being shifted from Teams to Copilot, underscoring that AI is now the operational core of Microsoft’s long-term strategy.

The partnership with OpenAI remains a cornerstone, with continued investments in cloud infrastructure and foundational models.
However, the focus is shifting toward responsible AI—promoting competitiveness through tangible solutions such as intelligent automation and the AI-first approach to business processes.

For enterprises adopting AI at scale, it becomes essential to establish AI governance frameworks, AI ethics policies, and data governance structures to mitigate the risks associated with uncontrolled adoption.

Implications for the market and for businesses

The creation of these new Microsoft divisions is not merely an internal move; it sends a clear message to the market.
Microsoft intends to lead the evolution of AI with an ethical, transparent, and human-centered approach.
For companies, developers, and end users, this marks the beginning of a new phase of transformative opportunities.

Organizations seeking to remain competitive in the AI era should consider:

adopting integrated and scalable Enterprise AI solutions;
incorporating intelligent agents (Agentic AI) into operational workflows;
leveraging Generative AI platforms to innovate products and services;
implementing AI governance and data governance policies;
embracing AI-first business models and intelligent automation.

These strategic directions enable businesses to achieve greater operational efficiency, predictive insights, enhanced customer experience, and stronger cybersecurity.

Looking ahead

Microsoft’s reorganization is more than a technical adjustment—it’s a declaration of intent:
to build an artificial intelligence that combines innovation, responsibility, and human-centered design.

In a landscape defined by the rapid rise of Agentic AI, Multimodal AI, and Generative AI, and with enterprise adoption accelerating at record speed, companies that govern these technologies with vision, ethics, and strategy will set the next competitive standard.

For developers, organizations, and IT professionals, this marks the start of a new era of opportunity.
With a clearer strategy, a dedicated ecosystem, and the right infrastructure, Microsoft positions itself as a driving force in global Enterprise AI adoption—an ecosystem destined to reshape how we interact with digital technology in the years to come.
