Microsoft is making GitHub part of its CoreAI team after GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke announced he’s leaving to start a new company. Dohmke will stay until the end of 2025 to help with the transition. Instead of hiring a new CEO, GitHub’s leaders will now report directly to Microsoft’s AI group, led by Jay Parikh. This move shows Microsoft’s plan to connect GitHub more closely with its AI tools and developer platform as it pushes forward in AI development. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Chris Grundemann.
