Microsoft Research to arrive at Amsterdam Science Park

• Artificial intelligence
• Quantum technology and Quantum computing

Microsoft Research’s AI4Science initiative comes to Amsterdam Science Park. We talked to Paola Gori Giorgi, who is principal research manager at Microsoft Research and still affiliated as professor of theoretical and mathematical chemistry at the VU, about why the Science Park is an ideal place for knowledge exchange. “We want to be part of the ecosystem,” she says.

Working with scientists from different fields is crucial for Gori Giorgi’s work. “My particular discipline – this strange field called quantum chemistry – is a field that is extremely interdisciplinary because it lies in between chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science,” she says. “No one has all this expertise to the highest possible level. So it means you really have to join forces with the people who have the complementary knowledge.”

A collective endeavour

The research by Gori Giorgi’s team on ways to accelerate scientific discovery with AI marks a move away from a data-driven approach. “This is a bit the old idea,” she says. “The new idea is that we know the exact equations for many interesting phenomena, in my case for predicting chemical reactions, but the equations are too difficult to be solved. We can use them but only to simulate small systems or smaller timescales. With artificial intelligence , we can accelerate these equations to a larger timescale and to larger systems.” But that requires a real team effort. “If you really want to take the next step, and really try to solve a lot of the issues that hamper the predictive power of these calculations, you need a huge collective effort.”

Paola Gori Giorgi, Professor of theoretical and mathematical chemistry “If we produce data, we like to make it open access so that other scientists use it – a lot of the things we do are made available to the scientific community ”

It’s a way of working that is perhaps more at home in a corporate research environment than in academia, where colleagues often compete with each other for grants, says Gori Giorgi. “In Microsoft Research internally, you don’t compete with anyone. They reward big, collaborative projects – the idea is to do research projects that are too large-scale for academia, and we are really incentivised to collaborate.” This doesn’t mean there’s a disconnect from the scientific community – much the opposite. “Because we do fundamental research, we publish scientific articles, we go to conferences. And part of our work is to let Microsoft Research build a reputation in the field. If we produce data, we like to make it open access so that other scientists use it – a lot of the things we do are made available to the scientific community.”

Paola Gori Giorgi, Professor of theoretical and mathematical chemistry “This collaborative approach makes Microsoft Research a perfect fit for the Science Park ”

Scientific exchange

Of course, this collaborative approach makes Microsoft Research a perfect fit for the Science Park. “There’s a lot of overlap,” says Gori Giorgi. “Max Welling, who started the lab together with Rianne van den Berg, is also still a professor at the UvA’s computer science department. And particularly in my field, we have contact with other scientists who work on similar topics, like the computational chemistry group at the UvA, and the quantum chemistry groups at the VU. We are also funding PhD students at both universities to foster scientific exchange.”

And there is a hope for more informal scientific conversations. “We aim for a lot of exchange. The idea really is to be part of the ecosystem of AI for science in Amsterdam,” says Gori Giorgi. Some of the PhD students from the UvA and the VU could attend talks or give presentations, and there is talk of Friday afternoon socials involving pizza. Gori Giorgi is also enthusiastic about the potential of her future workspaces at Matrix ONE: “I visited it – super nice! The project for the interior includes whiteboards in the corridor where you can stop and just start to write equations and discuss them with your colleagues. I’m really looking forward to going there.”

Fundamental challenges

What’s the dream for Gori Giorgi’s time at the Science Park? “What’s expected from us is great breakthroughs that really accelerate the discovery cycle. For instance, with the help of machine learning you can have computational chemistry calculations with which you can much more easily predict materials’ properties. This would dramatically accelerate the discovery cycle for materials for sustainability, or for catalysts for solutions to important problems such as carbon capture. In addition to sustainability, drug discovery is another topic to which computational chemistry is linked. The dream is to really contribute to one of these big fundamental challenges.”

New data shows most employees are experimenting with AI and growing their skills — now, the job of every leader is to channel this experimentation into business impact

REDMOND, Wash. — May 8, 2024 — On Wednesday, Microsoft Corp. and LinkedIn released the 2024 Work Trend Index, a joint report on the state of AI at work titled, “ AI at work is here. Now comes the hard part .” The research — based on a survey of 31,000 people across 31 countries, labor and hiring trends on LinkedIn, trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals, and research with Fortune 500 customers — shows how, just one year in, AI is influencing the way people work, lead and hire around the world. Microsoft also announced new capabilities in Copilot for Microsoft 365, and LinkedIn made free more than 50 learning courses for LinkedIn Premium subscribers designed to empower professionals at all levels to advance their AI aptitude. [1]

The data is in: 2024 is the year AI at work gets real. Use of generative AI at work has nearly doubled in the past six months. LinkedIn is seeing a significant increase in professionals adding AI skills to their profiles, and most leaders say they wouldn’t hire someone without AI skills. But with many leaders worried their company lacks an AI vision, and employees bringing their own AI tools to work, leaders have reached the hard part of any tech disruption: moving from experimentation to tangible business impact.

“AI is democratizing expertise across the workforce,” said Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “Our latest research highlights the opportunity for every organization to apply this technology to drive better decision-making, collaboration — and ultimately business outcomes.”

The report highlights three insights every leader and professional needs to know about AI’s impact on work and the labor market in the year ahead:

• Employees want AI at work — and won’t wait for companies to catch up: Seventy-five percent of knowledge workers now use AI at work. Employees, many of them struggling to keep up with the pace and volume of work, say AI saves time, boosts creativity, and allows them to focus on their most important work. But although 79% of leaders agree AI adoption is critical to remain competitive, 59% worry about quantifying the productivity gains of AI and 60% say their company lacks a vision and plan to implement it. So, employees are taking things into their own hands. 78% of AI users are bringing their own tools to work — Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI) — missing out on the benefits that come from strategic AI use at scale and putting company data at risk. The opportunity for every leader is to channel this momentum into business impact at scale.
• For employees, AI raises the bar and breaks the career ceiling : Although AI and job loss are top of mind for many, the data offers a more nuanced view — one with a hidden talent shortage, employees eyeing a career change, and massive opportunity for those willing to skill up on AI. A majority of leaders (55%) are concerned about having enough talent to fill roles this year with leaders in cybersecurity, engineering and creative design feeling the pinch most. And professionals are looking. Forty-six percent across the globe are considering quitting in the year ahead — an all-time high since the Great Reshuffle of 2021. A separate LinkedIn study found U.S. numbers to be even higher with 85% eyeing career moves. Although two-thirds of leaders (66%) wouldn’t hire someone without AI skills, only 39% of users have received AI training from their company and only 25% of companies expect to offer it this year. So, professionals are skilling up on their own. As of late last year, we’ve seen a 142x increase in LinkedIn members adding AI skills like Copilot and ChatGPT to their profiles and a 160% increase in nontechnical professionals using LinkedIn Learning courses to build their AI aptitude. In a world where AI mentions in LinkedIn job posts drive a 17% bump in application growth, it’s a two-way street: Organizations that empower employees with AI tools and training will attract the best talent, and professionals who skill up will have the edge.
• The rise of the AI power user — and what they reveal about the future: Four types of AI users emerged in the research — from skeptics who rarely use AI to power users who use it extensively. Compared to skeptics, AI power users have reoriented their workdays in fundamental ways, reimagining business processes and saving over 30 minutes per day. Over 90% of power users say AI makes their overwhelming workload more manageable and their work more enjoyable, but they aren’t doing it on their own. These users are 61% more likely to have heard from their CEO on the importance of using generative AI at work, 53% more likely to receive encouragement from leadership to consider how AI can transform their function, and 35% more likely to receive tailored AI training for their specific role or function.

“AI is redefining work, and it’s clear we need new playbooks,” said Ryan Roslansky, CEO of LinkedIn. “It’s the leaders who build for agility instead of stability and invest in skill building internally that will give their organizations a competitive advantage and create more efficient, engaged and equitable teams.”

Microsoft is also announcing Copilot for Microsoft 365 innovations to help people get started with AI.

• A new auto-complete feature is coming to the prompt box. Copilot will now help people who have the start of a prompt by offering to complete it, suggesting a more detailed prompt based on what is being typed, to deliver a stronger result.
• When people know what they want, but don’t have the right words, the new rewrite feature in Copilot will turn a basic prompt into a rich one with the click of a button.
• Catch Up is a new chat interface that surfaces personal insights based on recent activity and provides responsive recommendations. For example, Copilot will flag an upcoming meeting and provide relevant information to help participants prepare.
• And new capabilities in Copilot Lab will enable people to create, publish and manage prompts tailored to them, and to their specific team, role and function.

These features will be available in the coming months.

LinkedIn is also providing AI tools to enable you to stay ahead in your career.

• For upskilling. LinkedIn Learning offers more than 22,000 courses, including more than 600 AI courses, to build aptitude in generative AI , empower your teams to make GAI-powered business investments , or simply to keep your skills sharp. This includes over 50 new AI learning courses to empower professionals at all skill levels. New courses are free and available for everyone to use through July 8. Additionally, our new AI-Powered Coaching in LinkedIn Learning helps learners find the content they need to grow their skills faster, with greater personalization and guided conversational learning.
• For career advancement. For LinkedIn Premium subscribers, AI-powered personalized takeaways on LinkedIn Feed on posts, articles or videos (from the article to the commentary) can also help you daily in your career with personalized, relevant insights and opportunities including ideas and actions you can take.
• For job seeking. And if you’re looking to change your job, we’re also making it easier and faster to find your ideal job. With new AI-powered tools, you can now assess your fit for a role in seconds based on your experience and skills, get advice on how to stand out, and subscribers will also see nudges, for example suggestions for skills to build, professionals in your network to reach out to, and more . So far, more than 90% of subscribers who have access shared it’s been helpful in job search.

Microsoft and LinkedIn release the 2024 Work Trend Index on the state of AI at work

May 8, 2024 | Jared Spataro - CVP, AI at Work

One year ago, generative AI burst onto the scene and for the first time since the smartphone, people began to change the way they interact with technology. People are bringing AI to work at an unexpected scale — and now the big question is, how’s it going?

As AI becomes ubiquitous in the workplace, employees and businesses alike are under extreme pressure. The pace and intensity of work, which accelerated during the pandemic, has not eased, so employees are bringing their own AI to work. Leaders agree AI is a business imperative — and feel the pressure to show immediate ROI — but many lack a plan and vision to go from individual impact to applying AI to drive the bottom line.

At the same time, the labor market is set to shift and there’s a new AI economy. While some professionals worry AI will replace their job, the data tells a more nuanced story — of a hidden talent shortage, more employees eyeing a career change, and a massive opportunity for those willing to skill up.

“AI is democratizing expertise across the workforce,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft. “Our latest research highlights the opportunity for every organization to apply this technology to drive better decision-making, collaboration — and ultimately business outcomes.”

For our fourth annual Work Trend Index, out today, we partnered with LinkedIn for the first time on a joint report so we could provide a comprehensive view of how AI is not only reshaping work, but the labor market more broadly. We surveyed 31,000 people across 31 countries, identified labor and hiring trends from LinkedIn, analyzed trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals and conducted research with Fortune 500 customers. The data points to insights every leader and professional needs to know — and actions they can take — when it comes to AI’s implications for work.

1. Employees want AI at work — and won’t wait for companies to catch up.

Three in four knowledge workers (75%) now use AI at work. Employees, overwhelmed and under duress, say AI saves time, boosts creativity and allows them to focus on their most important work. While 79% of leaders agree AI adoption is critical to remain competitive, 59% worry about quantifying the productivity gains of AI and 60% worry their company lacks a vision and plan to implement it. While leaders feel the pressure to turn individual productivity gains into organizational impact, employees aren’t waiting to reap the benefits: 78% of AI users are bringing their own AI tools to work. The opportunity for every leader is to channel this momentum into ROI.

2. For employees, AI raises the bar and breaks the career ceiling .

We also see AI beginning to impact the job market. While AI and job loss are top of mind for some, our data shows more people are eyeing a career change, there are jobs available, and employees with AI skills will get first pick. The majority of leaders (55%) say they’re worried about having enough talent to fill open roles this year, with leaders in cybersecurity, engineering, and creative design feeling the pinch most.

And professionals are looking. Forty-six percent across the globe are considering quitting in the year ahead — an all-time high since the Great Reshuffle of 2021 — a separate LinkedIn study found U.S. numbers to be even higher with 85% eyeing career moves. While two-thirds of leaders wouldn’t hire someone without AI skills, only 39% of users have received AI training from their company. So, professionals are skilling up on their own. As of late last year, we’ve seen a 142x increase in LinkedIn members adding AI skills like Copilot and ChatGPT to their profiles and a 160% increase in non-technical professionals using LinkedIn Learning courses to build their AI aptitude.

In a world where AI mentions in LinkedIn job posts drive a 17% bump in application growth, it’s a two-way street: Organizations that empower employees with AI tools and training will attract the best talent, and professionals who skill up will have the edge.

3. The rise of the AI power user — and what they reveal about the future.

In the research, four types of AI users emerged on a spectrum — from skeptics who rarely use AI to power users who use it extensively. Compared to skeptics, AI power users have reoriented their workdays in fundamental ways, reimagining business processes and saving over 30 minutes per day. Over 90% of power users say AI makes their overwhelming workload more manageable and their work more enjoyable, but they aren’t doing it on their own.

Power users work for a different kind of company. They are 61% more likely to have heard from their CEO on the importance of using generative AI at work, 53% more likely to receive encouragement from leadership to consider how AI can transform their function and 35% more likely to receive tailored AI training for their specific role or function.

“AI is redefining work and it’s clear we need new playbooks,” said Ryan Roslansky, CEO of LinkedIn. “It’s the leaders who build for agility instead of stability and invest in skill building internally that will give their organizations a competitive advantage and create more efficient, engaged and equitable teams.”

The prompt box is the new blank page

We hear one consistent piece of feedback from our customers: talking to AI is harder than it seems. We’ve all learned how to use a search engine, identifying the right few words to get the best results. AI requires more context — just like when you delegate work to a direct report or colleague. But for many, staring down that empty prompt box feels like facing a blank page: Where should I even start?

Today, we’re announcing Copilot for Microsoft 365 innovations to help our customers answer that question.

YouTube Video

• Catch Up, a new chat interface that surfaces personal insights based on your recent activity, provides responsive recommendations , like “You have a meeting with the sales VP on Thursday. Let’s get you prepared — click here to get detailed notes.”

These features will be available in the coming months, and in the future, we’ll take it a step further, with Copilot asking you questions to get to your best work yet.

LinkedIn has also made free over 50 learning courses to empower professionals at all levels to advance their AI aptitude.

Microsoft and linkedin release the 2024 work trend index on the state of ai at work in asia pacific.

New data reveals APAC employees are engaging with AI to enhance skills amidst limited organizational support—   leaders must now harness this for tangible business impact.

SINGAPORE , May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. and LinkedIn released the 2024 Work Trend Index , a joint report on the state of AI at work titled, " AI at work is here. Now comes the hard part . "

Alongside this research, Microsoft announced new capabilities in Copilot in Microsoft 365, and LinkedIn unlocked more than 50 learning courses for LinkedIn Premium subscribers designed to empower professionals at all levels to advance their AI aptitude.

The research—based on a survey of 31,000 people across 31 countries*, labor and hiring trends on LinkedIn, trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals and research with Fortune 500 customers—shows how, just one year in, AI is influencing the way people work, lead and hire around the world.

2024 is the year of AI at work. The use of generative AI at work has nearly doubled in the last six months. LinkedIn is seeing a significant increase in professionals adding AI skills to their profiles, and most leaders say they wouldn't hire someone without AI skills. However, with many leaders in Asia worried that their company lacks an AI vision and with employees bringing their own AI tools to work, leaders have reached the hard part of any tech disruption: moving from experimentation to tangible business impact.

"The pace of diffusion of generative AI tools at the workplace is remarkable. Employees are empowering themselves by adopting agile and innovative tools, oftentimes not pausing for the rollout of a coherent AI vision and roadmap from their organizations. Leaders must demonstrate more appetite for rapid experimentation to realize the benefits of both productivity and increased metabolism in the industries they operate in," said Ahmed Mazhari , President of Microsoft Asia.

The Work Trend Index report reveals three urgent insights that every APAC leader and professional needs to know about AI's impact on work and the labor market in the year ahead:

1.    Employees want AI at work—and won't wait for companies to catch up :

83% of knowledge workers in APAC now use AI at work. Employees, many of them struggling to keep up with the pace and volume of work, say AI saves time, boosts creativity, and allows them to focus on their most important work.

While 84% of the APAC leaders believe their company needs to adopt AI to stay competitive, 61% worry their organization's leadership lacks a plan and vision to implement it. So, employees are taking things into their own hands. 79% of APAC AI users are bringing their own tools to work—Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)—missing out on the benefits that come from strategic AI use at scale and putting company data at risk. The opportunity for every leader is to channel this momentum into ROI.

2.    For employees, AI raises the bar and breaks the career ceiling :

A majority of global leaders (55%) are concerned about having enough talent to fill roles this year, with leaders in cybersecurity, engineering, and creative design feeling the pinch most.

76% of APAC leaders say they'd rather hire a less experienced candidate with AI skills than a more experienced candidate who lacked them.

As of late last year, we've seen a 142x increase in members globally adding AI skills like ChatGPT and Copilot to their LinkedIn profiles.

AI mentions in LinkedIn job posts drive a 17% bump in application growth.

3.    The rise of the AI power user—and what they reveal about the future :

Research: Negotiating Is Unlikely to Jeopardize Your Job Offer

• Einav Hart,
• Julia Bear,
• Zhiying (Bella) Ren

A series of seven studies found that candidates have more power than they assume.

Job seekers worry about negotiating an offer for many reasons, including the worst-case scenario that the offer will be rescinded. Across a series of seven studies, researchers found that these fears are consistently exaggerated: Candidates think they are much more likely to jeopardize a deal than managers report they are. This fear can lead candidates to avoid negotiating altogether. The authors explore two reasons driving this fear and offer research-backed advice on how anxious candidates can approach job negotiations.

Imagine that you just received a job offer for a position you are excited about. Now what? You might consider negotiating for a higher salary, job flexibility, or other benefits , but you’re apprehensive. You can’t help thinking: What if I don’t get what I ask for? Or, in the worst-case scenario, what if the hiring manager decides to withdraw the offer?

• Einav Hart is an assistant professor of management at George Mason University’s Costello College of Business, and a visiting scholar at the Wharton School. Her research interests include conflict management, negotiations, and organizational behavior.
• Julia Bear is a professor of organizational behavior at the College of Business at Stony Brook University (SUNY). Her research interests include the influence of gender on negotiation, as well as understanding gender gaps in organizations more broadly.
• Zhiying (Bella) Ren is a doctoral student at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on conversational dynamics in organizations and negotiations.
