- Microsoft UK CEO says that AI can bring “radical changes”
- Possible opportunity for half a billion pounds for the economy of AI and Cloud Uk during the next decade
- Microsoft will be held 43 years in the United Kingdom in 2025
The new CEO of Microsoft UK has promised the possible impact that AI can have on the organizations of the Nation on a potentially challenging future commercial landscape.
Speaking at the Microsoft AI Tour London event, Darren Hardman described how, “from medical care innovations to save lives to sustainable technologies that focus on improving social, economic and environmental impacts, AI is leading the way.”
“For the United Kingdom as a whole, the AI has the power to reformulate the growth ambitions of the nation and guarantee our position as a global player in the launch of new AI businesses, but also consolidating our position in the industries, in which we are strong,” he said.
AI revolution
“Like the nineteenth -century industrial revolution, our 21st century revolution represents the opportunity to bring radical changes to the global economy,” Hardman continued.
“For companies, it is about innovating faster, optimizing processes and having greater control on how we work, cutting digital heavy work, eliminating the mundane and doing more about the work we love,” he added, “oversizing efficiency, improving services and unlocking better results for citizens.”
Hardman’s speech was accompanied by a new Microsoft investigation that he found, perhaps, as expected, that business leaders are excited about the possible offers of AI, eager to deploy technology such as AI agents.
Microsoft’s study found that almost three quarters (72%) of the leaders expected AI agents to be completely integrated in their operations soon, with 21% anticipating that this is within the next 12 months, and 39% in two years.
However, the report also warned of a growing “division of AI” between those who plan to adopt AI and those who lack investment or acceptance, with more than half (54%) of the business leaders who admit that their organization lacks any formal strategy of AI and, worrying, less than half (45%) say that their companies properly understand the workforce. Successful today.
Hardman gave an optimistic tone, declaring that there are half a billion opportunities for the economy of AI and Cloud UK during the next decade.
“There is a clear and urgent demand for AI in its many forms, from developers to decision makers throughout the government, education and business,” he said. “But more than that, economic growth depends on it.”
