Token Capital: Satya Nadella Says Reasoning Is the New Currency
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has introduced the concept of "Token Capital," positing that AI tokens consumed for reasoning and creation represent a new form of capital. He suggests this "Token Capital" will join human and financial capital as a fundamental pillar of the economy. Nadella also highlighted that competition in the AI space will primarily occur at the model layer, rather than the application layer, implying a more level playing field for foundational AI development.
