  • "The labor movement looks forward to partnering with Microsoft to expand workers' role in the creation of worker-centered design, workforce training and trustworthy AI practices.
  • "By working directly with labor leaders, we can help ensure that AI serves the country's workers," said Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft.
