What do local leaders of Microsoft and LinkedIn say about generative Artificial Intelligence?

Synopsis: Every first Monday of the month, the Work Talk podcast helps you work smarter, think deeper and get ahead in your work life.

This is Part 3 of our special feature Where the Tech Jobs Are, where tech leaders demystify what the companies do, talk about innovations that they have their eyes on, and tell what it feels like to work in their firms.

In this episode, ST's senior correspondent Krist Boo hosts Ms Lee Hui Li, managing director at Microsoft Singapore, and Mr Frank Koo, LinkedIn's head of Asia for talent and learning solutions. Joining us too is Mr David Yeong, a business analytics student at the National University of Singapore.
