AI Innovation for Business and Social Transformation
Whether it’s building the next breakthrough application, re-imagining a customer experience, or transforming business processes, one of the first steps to take is empowering business leaders to lead with confidence in the age of AI.
New and innovative AI-based technologies that drive for positive impact through responsible innovation allow every developer to innovate, every organization to transform industries and every individual to transform society.
At the end of the day, AI is only as valuable, impactful, and positive as we make it. AI should always be a means to bring our individual aspirations within reach, and a means to bring people together to raise those aspirations even higher.

Skilling Models for the Future
In the wake of 2020 multiple trials and a global economic crisis, a first essential step needed to foster a safe and successful economic recovery is expanded access to the digital skills needed to fill new jobs.
One of the keys to a genuinely inclusive recovery are programs to provide easier access to digital skills for people hardest hit by the global crisis.
To help address this need, Microsoft launched a global skills initiative aimed at bringing more digital skills to 25 million people worldwide by the end of the year. This initiative brings together every part of our company, combining existing and new resources from LinkedIn, GitHub, and Microsoft.
