Microsoft to hire more employees for AI-centric roles

Business Nov 02, 2025

Microsoft is ramping up hiring for new roles centered around artificial intelligence.
CEO Satya Nadella shared on the BG2 podcast that the company is moving away from pre-AI habits and wants to boost productivity by hiring more strategically and leveraging automation.

Nadella emphasizes the need for continuous unlearning and relearning

Even with big tech layoffs happening elsewhere, Microsoft is all-in on building teams where AI is at the heart of what they do.
Tools like Copilot and GitHub's AI assistant are already making work smoother, but Nadella says employees will need to keep "unlearning and learning" as AI becomes a bigger part of daily life—kind of like adapting to any major tech shift.
The goal? Teams that can innovate faster with AI leading the way.
