Microsoft Government CTO , Greg Wilson , on the company ’ s expansive role in AI adoption , ethical governance , and cybersecurity within the public sector

When one thinks of ‘ Technology Leaders ,’ Microsoft is likely the first company that comes to mind . A globally recognised brand offering a wide portfolio of products and services across industries , central to Microsoft ’ s message is its mission of empowering every person and every organisation and on the planet to achieve more .

“ For me , we ’ re so much more than a large technology company ,” describes Greg Wilson , Government CTO at Microsoft ’ s Worldwide Public Sector team . “ There ’ s a responsibility on us as a strategic partner to nations , and as a partner to governments . We ’ re thought leaders in terms of Cloud technology . Although we also have a responsibility for helping governments understand how things like AI should be governed , or how to help reduce the digital divide , or how to support sustainability commitments and how to work with our big partner ecosystem .”
Microsoft is truly leading the AI revolution , from its Copilot products to Azure OpenAI Service and Cloud adoption , which helps improve productivity , insights and driving automation . The use cases in the public sector , as well as other areas , are endless . “ There ’ s one word that ’ s driving this change and that ’ s AI ,” Wilson describes .
