      AI is no longer on the horizon. It is already expanding what people can do and reshaping how organizations operate. Work Trend Index data shows a growing transformation gap: employees are adopting AI faster than organizations are redesigning work around it. The biggest gains come not from individual AI usage alone, but from leaders rethinking workflows, teams, and decision-making for a new era of augmented work. This Microsoft Elevate session blends keynotes, firesides, and live demos to explore what AI means for mission-driven work. Expect an interactive AI fluency self-assessment, workforce insights from LinkedIn, cross-sector conversations with UN system organizations, real solution demos, and a hands-on innovation experience. The session also highlights an emerging AI innovation model, featuring perspectives from GitHub and UN system organizations on democratizing innovation and unlocking new opportunities. Designed for leaders across the organization—HR, operations, finance, program, and beyond—who are thinking through their AI journey. Human agency, not just technology adoption, must be at the center of this transformation.
