🌟 This Mental Health Awareness Month, My son Judah and I are excited to highlight our journey with "Max & The Purple Anxiety Monster" through a special feature on Microsoft Unlocked! Diving into the creative process behind the book, this article shares how we harnessed AI to visually narrate childhood anxiety, transforming challenges into triumphs. 👨👦 Born from Judah's personal experiences at 10 years old, this book is a testament to the strength found in a father and son facing our fears together. We invite you to read more about our story and the impact it's making at Microsoft Unlocked: https://lnkd.in/gN8gEbDz #MentalHealthAwareness #ChildrensBooks #Microsoft365 #Microsoft #AI #FamilyProject #Storytelling A special thanks goes to Karina Reck and the Unlocked team for pulling this together!

I was pleased and honored to return to my home state of Wisconsin to announce that Microsoft is investing $3.3 billion in Racine County between now and 2026 to build an advanced Cloud and #AI data center campus. We’re putting our resources, scale, and expertise to work to create new jobs, train people with AI skills, and advance an AI-powered future across Wisconsin and beyond. We’re also investing to create the country’s first manufacturing-focused AI co-innovation lab with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and TitletownTech, and will bring AI skills training to more than 100,000 people in partnership with the United Way of Racine County and the State of Wisconsin. While this isn’t the only data center that Microsoft is building, I must admit it’s one of my favorites. From the age of nine to 14, I lived with my family just down the road from where it’s being built. I attended Racine Public Schools and I know how special this community is. Without its support, we wouldn’t have been able to get this project off the ground. This project is proof that a big company like Microsoft can build a strong foundation to support every business and nonprofit everywhere. It is also a great reminder that we are a country where people can come together, work together, address hard challenges, and we get great things done. We are excited to be on this journey together with President Joe Biden and the people of Wisconsin.

AI is rapidly catalyzing a new wave of innovation, reminiscent of the transformative impacts of the PC and the Internet. It’s unlocking new possibilities across industries, pushing the ideas of what we deemed achievable. However, every groundbreaking innovation comes with a new set of challenges, and AI’s safe adoption within enterprises is no exception. The ethical and secure handling of data are paramount to ensuring that AI tools are impactful without compromising privacy and safety. Organizations must have full confidence that their data – and customer data – is safeguarded by stringent privacy and data governance measures. Microsoft understands our responsibilities extend beyond managing our own data, and we believe it is crucial that our customers can easily apply these same rigorous standards as well. Today, we are excited to announce new capabilities across the security portfolio to help organizations secure and govern AI applications used in the workplace. To learn more about how these integrations deliver substantial and conscientious advantages to your organization, I encourage you to read today’s blog. 🩷 https://lnkd.in/gDPHG7ZP

Today we’ve announced a new research collaboration with Sanctuary AI. This collaboration marks a key step forward in Microsoft's research in embodied #AI (EAI): foundation #models and other scalable capabilities for systems that interact with the virtual and physical world. This research could enable new classes of systems such as general-purpose #robots that combine physical capabilities like manipulation and mobility with cognitive capabilities such as reasoning under uncertainty. Together with collaborators across industry and academia, we are advancing research directions including multimodal sensory #perception, spatially and temporally grounded #reasoning, efficient long-horizon #planning, goal-oriented behaviors, and #safe and #effective collaboration among humans and intelligent systems. I can’t think of a better place than Microsoft to foster an EAI research ecosystem toward deeper scientific understanding, impactful applications, and new tools to #empower people across many fields of work.
