Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has expressed concerns over the anthropomorphization of artificial intelligence (AI), urging people to stop treating AI like humans. His comments come in the wake of OpenAI’s unveiling of a personal assistant that can laugh, sing, and speak with a mix of different voices.
