Tackling the World’s Toughest Problems with AI

The head of Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab shares how the technology is helping to address intractable global challenges—and what all leaders can learn from those efforts.

Jaime Teevan became Microsoft’s first chief scientist in 2018. Her decades of experience in researching productivity and collaboration were invaluable when the pandemic changed how and where we work, and they’re equally vital as we navigate the new AI era of work. In 2023, Time declared her one of the top 100 people impacting the future of AI.

In this episode of the Worklab podcast, host Molly Wood talks to Teevan about key insights from her research. They also discuss how conversations will become increasingly important as we level up our AI skills, and how leaders can challenge themselves and their teams to think more creatively about unlocking the full potential of the technology.

Three big takeaways from the conversation:

WorkLab 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 the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
