1、The 2024 Impact Summary Meeting the moment October 2024COVER DESIGN POWERED BY MICROSOFT AIBuilding trust in our shared future Fiscal year 2024 was a pivotal year for Microsoft.We entered our fiftieth year as a company and the second year of the AI platform shift.Ive found myself reflecting on how M

2、icrosoft has remained a consequential company for decades.And I realize its becausetime and againwe have seized the opportunity to reinvent ourselves.Thats what we are doing again today.Microsoft was founded in 1975 with a belief in creating technology that would enable others to create their own.Ne

3、arly 50 years later,this remains at the heart of our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.Today,we are moving from talking about AI to translating it into real impactone customer,one community,and one country at a time.While we have made outstanding pr

4、ogress,we do not take our permission to innovatelet alone operatefor granted.Microsoft will do well only if the world around us does well.Thats why we focus on four enduring commitments.They push us to ensure the technology we create benefits everyone on the planet,as well as the planet itselfalways

5、 asking ourselves:How can we expand opportunity?How can we earn trust?How can we protect fundamental rights?How can we advance sustainability?This is a consequential time for our company,our industry,and the world.What we do with the unique opportunity we have been given will shape the future.I look

6、 forward to seeing how each of us uses Microsoft as a platform to make a difference.Satya Nadella Chairman and CEO,Microsoft Read Satyas Annual Shareholder Letter In the past year,weve witnessed remarkable examples of how AI can be applied to address some of the worlds most difficult problemsproblem

7、s that until recently,we accepted as unsolvable either because the scale was too enormous(monitoring the health of the Amazon rainforest)or because getting powerful technology into the hands of everyday people was too expensive(diagnostic tools to detect disease in remote areas).But it turns out tha

8、t when you enable teams of scientists and engineers to develop creative AI-driven solutions designed and implemented with the input of local communities,governments,private companies,and NGOs,the results are astonishingly effective and efficient.At Microsoft,we know that AI is going to be the drivin

9、g,transformative force in the effort to bring education,healthcare,and opportunity to everyone,everywhere.But to realize our mission of empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more in this AI era,we need to bring AI and the infrastructure that supports it to the areas

10、 of the world that were left behind in prior industrial revolutions.Thats why,in addition to making AI investments in the past year in places like Australia,the UK,Germany,France,and the United States,we also went to Indonesia,Malaysia,Thailand,Kenya,Mexico,and Brazil.We arent doing this alone;we ar

11、e partnering with governments,private companies,and NGOs to build infrastructure that will result in carbon-negative,water-positive data centers as well as skilling courses to create meaningful employment.None of this works without trust.Our business runs on trust,and its earned through an overridin

15、e more than a single company or industry to generate impact at the scale our world needs.Throughout the report,weve indicated where our commitments align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(UN SDGs).Microsoft has a 20-year history of working with the UN and supports the SDGs as a s

16、et of 17 universal goals for all parties to achieve by 2030.We advise on critical issues at the intersection of technology and society,including bridging the digital skills gap,driving environmental sustainability,and developing a multistakeholder approach to the global governance of AI.Our commitme
