The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness is not guaranteed, we have to work for it. The most important way to do this is to cultivate concern for others. That’s how to take a wise approach to our natural self-interest.

The smartest model in the world still doesn't know how your business runs.
#MicrosoftIQ is the context engine that changes that. Open to any model, built on what you already have.

Warm Heartedness Is the Key - His Holiness the Dalai Lama explains that with a warm heart, everything looks more positive, while a self-centered mind sees only negativity and fear. Our intelligence needs a warm heart; without one, it can become dangerous. Video originally recorded on November 11, 2019.

In the #GospelOfTheDay, Jesus speaks of the wedding feast prepared by a king for his son (cf. Mt 22:1–14). The wedding feast is ours, and the banquet hall is our churches and homes, the places where we live and where the King’s Son, Jesus Christ, continues to declare His love for us and await our “yes.”

Today marks a new chapter for Windows, as we bring unmetered intelligence to every desk and every home, and make every PC a place where agents can work securely on your behalf.
Some highlights of what we announced:
• MAI-Code-1.1 Flash: 137B parameter coding model w/ 256K context window, which is now optimized to run on your PC!
• GitHub Copilot now hands off work to local models like MAI-Code-1.1 Flash, helping projects cost a lot less without sacrificing quality.
• With Hybrid Intelligence, Copilot can now take action directly on the PC and keep sensitive work on your device.
• And with Code in Copilot, you can essentially build any software you need on your desktop, without any cloud token spend, and it’s just super at it. You’re no longer limited to what’s in an app store! Your PC becomes an infinite software factory.
• Security is foundational to all this, which is why we are also bringing together Windows and Agent 365 so agents can work within secure boundaries on-device, including MXC a local sandbox for agent execution. Windows becomes your secure agent box!
• All this comes to life on a new generation of devices, like Surface Laptop Ultra, powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark.
Can’t wait to see what you build with all this.

Not just asking for a notebook. Tasking an agent to go research a problem and figure out your slowly changing dimensions. Data engineering is due for a big shakeup.

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

Beyond Differences - His Holiness the Dalai Lama explains why he sees every person simply as another human being—beyond nationality, religion, or status. Reflecting on how divisions create conflict, His Holiness reminds us that our shared humanity is the foundation for peace, compassion, and a happier world.

I’ve always believed that one of our jobs as leaders is to pass the baton on to the next generation –– and to give them the resources and support they need to lead us forward. On National Run for Office Day, check out @RFSCivics for the resources you need. runforsomethingcivics.net

MESSAGE
I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.
Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.
An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.
I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

All men and women, especially Christians, are called to fix their gaze on those who suffer, on the pain of the lonely, and on those who are emarginated for various reasons, for without them we cannot build a just society. Only together can we build communities of solidarity capable of caring for everyone, in which wellbeing and peace can flourish for the benefit of all. Caring for the humanity of others helps us to live our own lives to the full.

Warehouse Snapshots in Microsoft Fabric are now GA!
Finally — a simple, powerful way to capture the state of your data over time.
In this video, I break down how Warehouse Snapshots let you:
✅ Take point-in-time backups of your Fabric Warehouse
✅ Query historical data without complicated ETL
✅ Restore or compare data states in seconds
No more workarounds or scripts — this is version control for your data.
If you’re managing production data in Fabric, this one’s a must-watch.
🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/bQ0GWbMuoXs?si=0vH2…
It’s time to make your data as reliable as your insights.
A big shout out to Twinkle Cyril and all of the engineers at Microsoft for making this happen.
👑 data gods love a clean rollback.
