Question 1

Is Microsoft really using AI?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft scores 89/100 on the AI Adoption Index, tier “AI-native”: In the product, in the process, in the budget. The headcount plan assumes it. A Julia Liuson memo reportedly told DevDiv staff AI use is 'no longer optional' and managers should weigh it in reviews; Nadella says 20-30% of code in some repos is AI-written.

Question 2

How is Microsoft’s AI adoption score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Five questions answered by employees, one tap each: daily use (30%), AI in the product (20%), what leadership does (20%), access to tools (15%) and enablement (15%). Until someone inside rates, companies are scored from what they have said on the record, with sources linked.
