Leadership in AI isn’t just about code or algorithms. It’s about people, and the balance so many working moms like Linda Yao embody across both life and leadership. Her recent interview highlights the strength women bring to redefining the future of technology. As women in AI and tech, we know how much representation matters. At the same time, true impact comes from paving the way for the next generation. From shaping Lenovo’s AI practice to advocating for inclusion, stories like Linda’s remind me how women leaders bring courage, curiosity, and community to this fast-moving field — and how those qualities shape not just industries, but careers too.

The world of data is being re-engineered in real-time by AI. Today at Google Cloud Next '25 Tokyo, we introduced major innovations to Google's Data Cloud to help organizations harness this new reality. We're moving beyond human-led analysis to a collaborative partnership with intelligent agents. This begins with a new suite of specialized AI agents for every data user, from data engineers to business analysts. We're also providing developers with the foundational building blocks—including new Gemini Data Agents APIs—to build custom agents and create a truly interconnected agent ecosystem. All of this is powered by a unified, AI-native data foundation that erases the line between operational and analytical worlds, with innovations like the new Spanner columnar engine and the AI Query Engine in BigQuery. The agentic era is here, and we're incredibly excited to see what you'll build. More in blog by Yasmeen Ahmad https://lnkd.in/gaGrCpux

It’s always important to remain connected to your roots, and as Microsoft celebrates our 50th anniversary, we are announcing an AI for Good Open Call. This program will award $5 million in grants to leverage the power of AI to address pressing social and scientific challenges that impact Washington state. This is a unique chance to collaborate with Microsoft’s leading AI scientists and highlight innovations coming from Washington state. Entities and/or projects must be based in or benefit Washington State and its residents. Eligible entities include nonprofits, academic institutions, individual researchers, startups, and businesses with a mission aligned with the program focus areas: sustainability, public health, and human rights. Projects should demonstrate innovation, scalability, and feasibility, utilizing AI to address complex challenges and deliver measurable impact. I’m looking forward to seeing what sustainability advancements come out of this important program. https://msft.it/6042UjadE
