Microsoft CEO on its NEW Nvidia-Powered AI Super Laptop

Microsoft’s new Nvidia RTX Spark-powered Surface Laptop Ultra brings ultra powerful AI right to your laptop—no cloud required. I sat down with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella after the launch to talk about why local and hybrid AI matter, how Windows is being reengineered for AI agents, the existential risks of AI, Microsoft’s ambitions in consumer AI, the future of computer software and hardware, and, of course, Clippy.
