Microsoft launches a dedicated AI implementation division with $2.5B in funding and 6,000 employees to guide enterprise customers.
Microsoft just went all-in. The tech giant is standing up a brand-new business unit laser-focused on helping customers actually use AI — not just buy it. We're talking $2.5 billion committed and 6,000 employees dedicated to making that happen.
