AI is going to profoundly change how we work and how every organization operates. At #MSIgnite last week, we showed how Microsoft is empowering every developer and every IT professional on the planet to innovate using AI with Azure and the Copilot and AI stack. Here are highlights from my keynote.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, since 1970, global vertebrate populations have plummeted 70%! This is an issue where AI can play a crucial role by monitoring and protecting species. Great work by the Microsoft AI for Good Lab. https://lnkd.in/eQjMwYa6

I've been using Copilot Pages to prepare for meetings and it's been a game changer for me and my team. It puts all of us on the same "page" before, during and after meetings, creates a first draft of our agenda and meeting notes, and can be shared in real-time with everyone involved, enabling us to ideate with AI and collaborate with each other. It's pretty magical. Here's how to try it out: https://lnkd.in/gGFjUmBT

Chief Accessibility Officer @ Microsoft | Product Inclusion and Accessibility | Board Member | Speaker
Can AI help with speech, transcription, translation and voices.. yes! Last week, Azure AI Speech launched a series of new capabilities. At the top of the list, improvements to speech recognition using data from disabled people via the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Speech Accessibility Project. This data led to 37% improvement in word error rate for nonstandard speech and improved recognition for standard speech. Great illustration of why disability data matters and how accessibility improves usability for everyone! Other launches: ⚫ Fast Transcription API, can transcribe a 10-minute audio file in just 15 seconds! ⚫ Realtime speech translation, multilingual speech-to-speech translation for 76 input languages. ⚫ New video translation capabilities, add subtitles in whatever language you choose! ⚫ Voices. So many options! Use text to speech with new, high-definition voices that detect emotion and adjust tone. Or translate your video into another language with personal voice, retaining speakers voice, emotion, intonation and pitch (limited access!) This and (a lot) more: https://lnkd.in/gpmQhZBj University of Illinois Speech Accessibility Project: https://lnkd.in/erVvVke5 Kudos AI Speech and University of Illinois! #accessibility #AI Jacky Kang Mark Hasegawa-Johnson

Technology Executive | Product Professional | Professional Speaker 🎙 | Inclusive Designer | Accessibility Champion
As a professional living with a #disability, I know firsthand the barriers that can make leading teams, driving innovation, and delivering results feel insurmountable. Yet, I am constantly reminded of the power of technology to break those barriers. Tools like Voice Access and Microsoft 365 Copilot have been game changers in my life. They don’t just allow me to work—they empower me to lead. They enable me to focus on strategy, creativity, and innovation instead of worrying about #accessibility challenges.
