Washington state needs a ‘coherent’ story to compete in AI, leaders agree

Washington state may have everything it needs to become a global AI hub. The problem is, it hasn't figured out how to tell the world. At a roundtable convened by the Washington Technology Industry Association, civic and industry leaders debated what it will take to stop playing catch-up with Silicon Valley and start leading.

Microsoft’s big developer conference returns to San Francisco in June

Microsoft is moving its Build developer conference. The event will now take place in a smaller venue in San Francisco, as Microsoft draws in AI developers.
