    AI is diffusing faster than any technology we’ve ever seen before. While AI transformation can be challenging, AI has the potential to make us better at what we do—better teachers, better students, better workers, better leaders. With AI skills, people have more time to be more creative, curious,  productive, and impactful. This session explores how ”Elevating AI Skills for All” can enhance workplaces, agencies, and education with skills to prepare the global workforce for the AI era and ensure no one is left behind.

    Naria Santa Lucia, General Manager, Microsoft Skills for Social Impact, presents key insights into the changing workforce and the critical role that AI skilling plays in preparing workers and leaders for the new AI economy. She’ll share a current view of in-demand skills and workforce gaps, organizational strategies for building a culture of learning and resilience, and the impact of skilling initiatives on extending AI opportunities to everyone.
