Microsoft has introduced new limits on how much its engineers can spend on AI tools at work and told employees that maximizing AI use internally is not the company’s goal, according to a report. The move makes Microsoft one of the last major companies to rein in employees’ expensive AI use. The company said it still wants to be an ‘AI-first’ company. The policy follows a trend of scaling back maximalist AI use, sometimes called “tokenmaxxing,” as the price for using AI has increased while not always delivering commensurate productivity gains.
