Microsoft has announced a multi-year, multibillion dollar investment in artificial intelligence (AI) as it extends its partnership with OpenAI.

OpenAI is the creator of popular image generation tool Dall-E and the chatbot ChatGPT.

The Windows and Xbox maker plans up to 10,000 redundancies, but said it would still hire in key strategic areas.
