## Resource

Satya Nadella is sounding the alarm on AI’s economic future, warning that chasing bigger models alone could backfire. He’s splitting corporate value into human capital and “token capital,” arguing AI won’t replace humans but will make their skills more valuable. Nadella fears concentration of power in a few AI giants could spark political backlash, echoing globalization’s hidden costs. Microsoft’s strategy? Build platforms, not just models, so companies can retain control and adapt. The real winners, he says, will be those enabling human-AI collaboration—not just the biggest brains.
