wired.com Steven Levy 2025-09-07 15:11:10

I first learned about The Clause from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup’s groundbreaking AI technology.

The answer was a bit puzzling. “Fundamentally, their long-term idea is we get to su
