Jaime Teevan: AI and the Future of Productivity

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we work, and Microsoft is among the leaders of that change.

Join Jaime Teevan, Chief Scientist and Technical Fellow at Microsoft, for a conversation and deeper understanding of what’s to come as AI becomes more ingrained in the way we work.
