Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, has criticized Microsoft’s AI Copilot, calling it “disappointing” and comparing it to the infamous Clippy assistant from the 1990s. In an interview with CNBC, Benioff expressed his concerns about the potential negative impact of AI on jobs and the need for responsible development of the technology. He stated that Copilot, which is designed to assist developers with coding tasks, is “a little bit like Clippy” and questioned whether it would truly be helpful or just a distraction. Benioff emphasized the importance of ensuring that AI systems are ethical, transparent, and accountable, and warned against rushing into the deployment of AI without proper safeguards. He also highlighted Salesforce’s focus on developing AI responsibly, with a commitment to protecting customer data and ensuring that the technology is used for good.
