Excited to announce a new replenishment project powered by AI to tackle water loss from leaks in Spain in partnership with Aganova and the Mancommunidad de Aguas del Sorbe (MAS) water utility. 30% of freshwater that runs through pipes is lost due to leaks. By harnessing the power of AI-driven solutions, Microsoft aims to fund leak identification efforts across MAS's trunk mains networks, with the ultimate goal of conserving vital water resources and fortifying community resilience against drought. Thank you to Aganova for working with us to make this project a reality. https://lnkd.in/ez2vAbSx Microsoft On the Issues Agustín Ramírez García Marcos Barrera Melanie Nakagawa Paulina Concha Larrauri

I’m having so many discussions with peers across the legal industry who are wondering how AI will change our jobs. My team and I have been experimenting with Copilot for a few months and have been blown away by the results. Recently I’ve been using it to help analyze and understand new regulatory developments, including the latest on the EU AI Act. In fact, I even used Copilot to help write the article I’m sharing here, which outlines some simple #GenAI use cases that are making a big difference in how we do our jobs. In the coming weeks, my team will be sharing some of their favorite use cases on LinkedIn. I’m hoping these stories might inspire others in the legal industry to share their own GenAI experiences. It’s an exciting time, and we’re all learning and adapting together. #Copilot #FutureofWork #AI

This #EarthDay, I’m taking a moment to reflect on all the incredible sustainability progress over the last year and celebrate the people behind it. Addressing climate change requires action from each and every one of us. As I talk to employees, customers, partners, innovators, and policy makers, I see progress everywhere. From better measuring and monitoring ecosystems with AI to protect biodiversity, to advancing green software that reduces energy consumption, to developing tools that help advance green skills for workers around the world. Every day, people are finding ways to think bigger, move faster, and take action to protect the future of our planet. But our work is not done. To avoid the most severe impacts of climate change, we need to work together to build new solutions, advance markets, and accelerate policies that will help provide greater impact at scale. We have a steep hill to climb, but I remain optimistic. I’m optimistic because... (1) ...so many are putting their unique skills to work, creating even more opportunities to combat climate change across policy, finance, technology, and more. (2) ...progress is happening and people are working to reimagine action in some remarkable ways! Join me in learning more about how people are reimaging action at Microsoft and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gAUwuh9u. You might even discover new reasons to be "optimistic because..."
