What does it take to move the needle with AI? Top AI voice Allie K. Miller joins WorkLab to share why some of the biggest advances aren’t coming from the usual places—or people. She explains how organizations can unlock new value by giving unconventional thinkers room to experiment, why speed and iteration matter more than perfection, and how leaders can turn edge ideas into real business impact. Plus: how agentic workflows, voice interfaces, and cross-disciplinary teams are reshaping the future of work.
The WorkLab podcast is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of our guests are their own, and they may not necessarily reflect Microsoft’s own research or positions.
Molly Wood hosts the WorkLab podcast and brings more than two decades of experience reporting on technology and business for CNET/CBS, the New York Times, Marketplace, Wired, and The Atlantic.
WorkLab is produced by Microsoft with TriFilm. Sharon Kallander, Stephanie Carson, and Matthew Duncan are our producers, with support from consulting producer Alia Aljunied and senior editor Jon Eilenberg. Josh Lim composed our theme music. Jessica Voelker is WorkLab’s editor.
