Microsoft CEO
The big winners here are not going to be tech companies. The winners are going to be the broader industry that uses this commodity [...] that, by the way, is abundant. Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate.

Quote attributed to Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO), year 2026. The Irish Times source URL returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. Web searches confirmed the article ("AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns," Irish Times, Jan 20, 2026, from his WEF Davos remarks) and the substance of the quote: Nadella argued that for AI "not to be a bubble," its benefits must spread beyond big tech, a "telltale sign of a bubble" being if only tech groups benefited, and he framed AI "tokens" as a new abundant commodity. This matches the quote's meaning: "The big winners here are not going to be tech companies. The winners are going to be the broader industry that uses this commodity [...] that, by the way, is abundant. Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate." The argument that tech companies will not be the dominant winners is consistent with the "against" vote on "The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity."
