Microsoft Escalates the AI Security Race with ‘Project Perception’ and a New in-House Model
- On Sunday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told CNN's Fareed Zakaria that American companies remain competitive against Chinese AI rivals through a robust 'ecosystem approach' built on trusted US-based hyperscalers.
- Earlier this month, Nadella and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis published framework manifestos on AI governance, signaling a shift from competing on benchmark leadership to controlling how models are deployed and released.

- Despite heavy investment in data centers, Microsoft shares have declined roughly 19% this year while Azure and other cloud services are forecast to reach $148.9bn in fiscal 2027.
