How widely is AI actually being used, and where is adoption falling behind? Speaking at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft, outlined how AI adoption can be measured through what he calls a “diffusion index.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee explains how AI is designing entirely new medicines—molecules that may have never existed—by learning the rules of chemistry and generating drugs with unprecedented speed and precision.
"AI isn’t one thing, it’s everything, everywhere, all at once,” says Naria Santa Lucia, General Manager of Microsoft Elevate. In this Global Stage conversation with GZERO’s Tony Maciulis at the 2025 AI for Good Summit in Geneva, Santa Lucia explores how generative AI is transforming not just the way we work—but how we prepare to work at all.
