Microsoft

Microsoft is one of the most aggressive AI adopters in the technology sector, having embedded generative AI across its core product suite through its Copilot platform, which is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4/GPT-5 models and integrated into Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, and other products. The company has filed extensive public disclosures about AI as a central strategic and commercial pillar, with its 10-K filings explicitly framing AI transformation as the company's defining mission. However, Microsoft has undergone more than 15,000 layoffs in the first half of 2025 — approximately 7% of its workforce — which the company has not directly attributed to AI displacement, though the timing, scale, and analyst commentary strongly suggest AI-enabled workforce reduction is a contributing factor. Microsoft publicly promotes a Responsible AI framework, but the gap between that messaging and the scale of workforce displacement raises integrity questions.
