Allie K. Miller: Find your “weirdos”—and let them lead

What does it take to move the needle with AI? Top AI voice Allie K. Miller joins WorkLab to share why some of the biggest advances aren't coming from the usual places-or people. She explains how organizations can unlock new value by giving unconventional thinkers room to experiment, why speed and iteration matter more than perfection, and how leaders can turn edge ideas into real business impact. Plus: how agentic workflows, voice interfaces, and cross-disciplinary teams are reshaping the future of work.

WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values input from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft's own research or opinions.
