Today, we welcome the 2026 Microsoft Research Fellowship cohort, an inspiring global community of fellows and advisors helping to shape what’s next across science, technology, and society. Join us in celebrating this year’s recipients: msft.it/6013Q45bX
These contributions span the following themes:
• AI for global and societal impact
• AI fundamentals: scalable reasoning, model adaption and evaluation
• Biological and scientific modeling
• Foundational systems & infrastructure for AI
• Human-AI collaboration and interaction
• Multimodal & embodied intelligence

ADeLe profiles AI models across a set of core abilities and compares them to task requirements. Published in @Nature, this framework enables accurate prediction of model performance on tasks they have not encountered before: msft.it/6015QLEuN

How do we evaluate AI on tasks it's never seen before?
In our Societal AI white paper, we pose this key question. With Jose's team, we're developing ADeLe, a psychometrics-inspired framework to assess AI abilities beyond benchmarks. #SocietalAI #ResponsibleAI #MicrosoftResearch
ADeLe, a new evaluation method, explains what AI systems are good at—and where they’re likely to fail. By breaking tasks into ability-based requirements, it has the potential to provide a clearer way to evaluate and predict AI model performance: msft.it/6014SkVGC

Excited to share the Societal AI research agenda—a cross-disciplinary effort to align AI with human values and societal needs. Check out our white paper and podcast hosted by Gretchen Huizinga! Thanks to all contributors! #SocietalAI #ResponsibleAI #MicrosoftResearch
Learn about a new white paper on Societal AI, an interdisciplinary framework for guiding AI development that reflects shared human values. It presents key research challenges and emphasizes collaboration across disciplines: msft.it/6016Sp3Na

ALT A diagram with a gradient background transitioning from blue on the left to pink on the right. In the center, there is a circle labeled 'Societal AI.' On the left side of the circle, there is an icon of a computer monitor with the text 'Computer Science' below it. On the right side of the circle, there are two abstract human figures with the text 'Social Science' below them. Arrows connect 'Computer Science' and 'Social Science' to 'Societal AI.'
