The Tools for Thought team, that I'm a part of (aka.ms/toolsforthou...) contributed to the USC Annenberg Relevence Report on AI. Released annually from the Center for Public Relations. A great report, with a lot of diverse writers, including Microsoft's very own Steve Clayton. Worth a look.
Microsoft researchers contributed to USC Annenberg’s 2025 Relevance Report: AI Activated. Their essay, "AI as a Tool for Thought," explores how genAI can enhance human cognition beyond content creation. Read this and other essays from leading experts: issuu.com/uscannenberg...
