Microsoft has made the decision to shut down its Airsim and Bonsai projects, marking the end of its industrial metaverse initiatives. Airsim, which aimed to use AI-based drone simulation software, and Bonsai, focused on building autonomous systems using AI, were part of Microsoft’s vision for the industrial metaverse. The move comes as Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Scott, shifts his focus to AI following the company’s partnership with OpenAI. This is not the first time Microsoft has scaled back its industrial metaverse endeavors, as the company previously laid off a team of 100 people in February. Microsoft plans to continue investing in its Azure computing platform and various AI projects.
