How AI Can Supercharge SMBs Around the World

UN Study Suggests AI Could Boost Human Development

For many years, global human development showed consistent progress, and experts from the United Nations had once forecasted that by 2030, people worldwide would experience substantial improvements in their quality of life.

How to Make Yourself Irreplaceable in the Wake of AI

AI is already transforming how we work, and many jobs will eventually be automated. But instead of resisting change or clinging to old methods, it’s time to shift focus.

If you’re launching a business today, your edge won’t come from technical knowledge alone. It’ll come from the qualities AI can’t replicate—your emotional intelligence, communication skills, and ability to lead and connect with others. These human traits matter now more than ever. To begin with, being able to…

Microsoft Predicts Everyone Will Employ AI Workers in the Future

Microsoft is forecasting a major shift in how businesses will operate, thanks to the growing role of artificial intelligence.
