Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella proposed an AI killswitch concept that effectively strengthens Microsoft's control over AI models through its Azure platform, which hosts over 11,000 models and a governance system with millions of agents. This design ensures that companies relying on AI governance buy into Microsoft's ecosystem, supporting Azure's rapid revenue growth past $100 billion annually and strong profitability.
