From AI to inclusive hiring, Satya Nadella seeks further inspiration at Microsoft's Ability Summit

Microsoft's mission to create technology that can empower every person doesn't just begin and end with the products it is creating. It extends to the people it hires, the standards it holds its partners and vendors to, and the workplace it has created. And the man at the top, CEO Satya Nadella, is personally inspired by all of it he said during a discussion at the company's Ability Summit in Redmond, Wash., on Thursday. "The consciousness of the place has changed, which is what's most exciting to me," Nadella said during the event aimed at showcasing accessible technology and the importance of inclusive design. "That's at least what leads to the start of all big things."
