Few companies have had the same impact on society as tech giant Microsoft (MSFT). Co-founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the company fundamentally changed how work was done with the invention of Windows. Decades later, the company is back shaking up the world order again amid the AI boom. Microsoft has a lucrative stake in ChatGPT developer OpenAI. It’s powering businesses with the release of Microsoft Copilot. The company has swallowed up a giant acquisition in video publisher Activision Blizzard with relative ease while also leveraging insights from its purchase of LinkedIn several years ago.
While Gates is no longer involved with the company day-to-day, he remains its spiritual adviser, so to speak. He also remains tremendously active in next-generation technology and is trying to cure diseases via the Gates Foundation. But what is the story behind Gates, who is viewed as one of the most transformational leaders of the past fifty years? In Gates’s new book titled “Source Code,” he aims to pull back the curtain on his childhood and rocketship rise to fame during his Microsoft years. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Gates to drill into the book, as well as get Gates’s views on the future of AI, quantum computing, and healthcare.
