More capable AI doesn’t mean giving up control.

As agentic AI evolves, people still decide what it can access, actions it can take, and where to set boundaries.

The goal is to design for autonomy, not independence.

Attackers are exploiting trusted identities and systems across channels. As AI helps them scale familiar tactics faster and farther, protecting what we rely on is critical.

Last month, we announced our partnership with the Public Library Association to help libraries bring AI skills to their communities. In the small town of Clarksville, Virginia, 18 people came to the library's first AI class, nearly triple the usual turnout. As branch manager computer opens doors, and AI will open a door for them." @ALA_PLA @Microsoft

We spend a lot of time talking about artificial intelligence. But we can’t lose sight of human intelligence and the judgment, perspective, and different ways of thinking that people bring. @mustafasuleyman summed it up: "People matter more than AI."
