It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity

Happiness is highly linked to how focused you are on what you're doing.

We’re close to decoding dolphin speech using AI. If we do, we are opening a new chapter in understanding animal intelligence that’s never been achieved before.

With our SLM Phi, flight attendants at Japan Airlines are spending less time on paperwork and more time with passengers... something I saw a great demo of today in Tokyo! https://t.co/8LQy6m7daf

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.

After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.

It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.

The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.

They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.

Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!

Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.

It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.

And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.

This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.

It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.

Jevons paradox strikes again! As AI gets more efficient and accessible, we will see its use skyrocket, turning it into a commodity we just can't get enough of. https://t.co/omEcOPhdIz

Tourism spending in San Francisco is set to hit 2019 levels next year. People coming here are finding a beautiful city ready to welcome them. A recent survey by SF Travel found 92% of visitors would come back to San Francisco. We know our challenges, but visitors love this city.
