Beny RubinsteinGUEST
And it's certain, of course, Microsoft, I think I-- There's a book called "Everything I Learned in Business, I Learned from Microsoft." It's a former colleague of mine who wrote it, and I, I, I believe that most things I learned beyond work and I learned at Microsoft.
Beny RubinsteinGUEST
And so when I joined Microsoft Research to, to do my dream job, right? To, to, to lead the transformative projects in- including cloud and AI in healthcare, I had to land in different geographies.
Beny RubinsteinGUEST
I was doing all the international work, so Canada, UK.
Beny RubinsteinGUEST
And again, get to places where I don't know anyone, I don't know how they operate here, I don't know the culture, I don't know the legislation.

Anil BajpaiHOST
This is what, uh, I learned from the other discussion.
Beny RubinsteinGUEST
That's the most common mistake people make, uh, or assumption they make about how AI will help them is AI is not there to do your job, it's there to challenge you.
Beny RubinsteinGUEST
Actually, one of the papers I, I loved and I cited on my last, uh, paper, uh, it comes from Microsoft, uh, Cambridge, Microsoft Research, and the title was so brilliant.
Beny RubinsteinGUEST
I, I-- before I read the paper, I was already in love with it.
Todd BishopHOST
D, Microsoft Tether, 2006.
Todd BishopHOST
This was a Microsoft research project, basically like a little Bluetooth dongle, and it was later popularized, of course, by Apple as the AirTag.
Todd BishopHOST
and HoloLens 2016, which was later popularized by Apple as the Vision Pro.
Todd BishopHOST
So A, Microsoft Reader, B, Tablet PC, C, Spot Smartwatch, D, Microsoft Tether, or E, the HoloLens.
John CookHOST
It could have been
Todd BishopHOST
like a TechFest project.
Todd BishopHOST
I mean, remember back in the day, Microsoft Research TechFest? That was like a cool thing that you got to see.
Todd BishopHOST
Anyway,
Ifeoma AjunwaGUEST
So, you know, when I started the book, The Quantified Worker, it really came out of an article that I wrote while I was a research intern at Microsoft.
Ifeoma AjunwaGUEST
I was at Microsoft Research working with Kate Crawford.
Ifeoma AjunwaGUEST
And we wrote an article with Jason Schultz as well, basically looking at the notion that With all the AI technologies that we now have, we actually have limitless surveillance at work.
Ifeoma AjunwaGUEST
So that was the title of the article, Limitless Surveillance.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
It was called Omnitrack.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
an Android self-tracking system built by researchers at Seoul National University and Microsoft Research, among others.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Their opening premise was almost word-for-word Daniel's thesis.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
They wrote that despite the vast number of available tools, it's still challenging for self-trackers to find apps that suit their unique tracking needs.
Anthony PowerHOST
Yes, Soluna have welcomed another new hire, Neil Robinson, the VP of Construction Management.
Anthony PowerHOST
He joined from Microsoft Research as Director of AI Construction.
Anthony PowerHOST
He'll support Soluna's data center development team as they advance their AI infrastructure pipeline.
Anthony PowerHOST
Now, interestingly enough, I did have a look to see his background.
Shiv RaoGUEST
Yeah, I remember just feeling incredibly restless once I fell in love with this idea that really underpins everything that we've been building at Abridged.
Shiv RaoGUEST
We had been doing some research at UPMC with Microsoft Research, with MSR, and it was all around use cases for AI in healthcare.
Shiv RaoGUEST
And, you know, we were circling any number of ideas, including this idea around helping doctors.
Shiv RaoGUEST
But it always felt like there was a bigger way to think about this, that there was a... you realize that this signal, those conversations between professionals and patients are upstream of so many workflows, so many systems of record, so many outcomes that we're trying to improve, whether it's on the cost side, experiences, whether it's clinical outcomes.
David GerardHOST
Microsoft isn't just the company that bought all the game studios so it could run them into the ground.
David GerardHOST
Microsoft Research is hard at work exploring new realms in how to make gaming suck.
David GerardHOST
Welcome to Project Vega.
David GerardHOST
The headline is literally Vibe Gaming: Unlocking New Gaming Experiences With Agentic AI.
Arun KrishnaswamyGUEST
That's a great question.
Arun KrishnaswamyGUEST
So it largely talks about my background of why I got into this, right? So when we were, the founding team, when we were in, I actually built, my entire background is like, you know, Yahoo, Microsoft Research.
Arun KrishnaswamyGUEST
And then my team was responsible for building the experimentation engine in Microsoft.
Arun KrishnaswamyGUEST
And then at Visa, my team built the world's largest data lake and stuff.
David RothschildGUEST
Well, thank you for having me.
David RothschildGUEST
My name is David Rothschild, and I am an economist, a senior principal researcher at Microsoft Research here in New York City.
David RothschildGUEST
And I have varied types of workflows, one being work on understanding the market for news and information, Another in understanding AI's role in productivity, but more generally, the economy and society.
David RothschildGUEST
And then most pertinently today, specifically narrowing in on this question of AI and productivity for survey research, having done a lot of work in understanding both kind of practical use cases, as well as the larger theoretical implications.
Richard HoganHOST
And I know that people have covered this ad nauseum, but there has been a new report released earlier on this week from both OpenAI and Meta, which has shed some additional information.
Richard HoganHOST
And I'm stealing a leaf out of David's book for a very quick Microsoft research update on agentic SDLC or use of agentic agents within a development lifecycle.
Richard HoganHOST
Anyway, we started off with David last time, so I will hand it across to Cyrus to kick us off with the first of his topics, which I'm assuming And I was wrong last time.
Richard HoganHOST
It will be the IBM Z updates for ARM, et cetera.
21 MINS LATER
Richard HoganHOST
And to add another area where we have to think about that now is an interesting piece.
Richard HoganHOST
Second one I had here, and again, as I said, I was taking a leaf out of David's book for this one.
Richard HoganHOST
So this is from Microsoft Research, and this is in combination with the University of Illinois, and they published a first, well, I think for them anyway, large-scale look at what coding agents actually do in production rather than in a benchmark.
Richard HoganHOST
So basically they took a full week of GitHub Copilot traces from June.
