Zensai Unveils The Human Success Score: 'The Strava for Work' at HumanX 2025 to Predict Future Team Performance and Success
NEW YORK, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zensai, the only AI-powered learning, employee engagement, and performance management platform built on Azure and integrated into Microsoft 365 and Teams, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Human Success Score, a performance-based predictive model designed to provide organizations with an actionable method to measure, communicate, and drive excellence across teams at HumanX 2025.
In today's competitive business landscape where sales, finance, and product teams thrive on metrics tied to revenue, cash flow, and system performance, HR struggles to convey the same sense of urgency around people and performance with lagging indicators like retention and eNPS. The reality is that HR has not been able to equate investment in people with better business outcomes in a predictable way.
This is where the AI-powered Human Success Score comes in, as part of the Zensai Human Success Platform—a centerpiece of HumanX 2025's focus on innovative tools for people-centered business success.
'Zensai's vision of distilling the human factors into a single score that indicates an organisation's people success is a bold and visionary step to overcoming that problem,' said David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway Group. 'Simple enough to understand and not overwhelm. Focused enough to trigger debate and action. Human enough to matter.'
A Model Inspired by Everyday Success
The Human Success Score is inspired by familiar, consumer-friendly fitness and productivity platforms like Apple Health, Strava, Snapchat, and Duolingo. Just as Apple's Activity Rings motivate users to improve fitness with a clear and simple visualization of activity, and Strava's leaderboards foster athletic achievement towards goals set by the individual, Zensai's AI-driven Human Success Platform introduces:
The Human Success Score: A metric that looks at consistent employee engagement, performance against set goals, and continuous skills development
The Engagement Metric: In Snapchat and Duolingo you have streaks when you show up every day; in the work environment you show up consistently engaged which benefits the team
The Performance Metric: In Strava you have goals, badges, and achievements; in the work environment you need clear goals to achieve better outcomes
The Learning Metric: On the Apple Watch you can close your rings when you've hit your goals; in the work environment you need to learn new skills to improve
These metrics are aggregated to produce a clear, simple, and qualified Human Success Score that provides a real-time pulse on an organization's performance, helping them become 'Human Success Certified,' if they achieve a certain level consistently over time.
'Organizations can't afford to rely on complex, fragmented data when it comes to human success,' said Rasmus Holst, CEO of Zensai. 'The Human Success Score distills critical insights into a single, powerful number that galvanizes leaders and teams into action, just like a missed sales target or a system outage would. With streak-based achievements, clear insights, and department-specific badges, organizations are motivated to sustain their scores, ensuring ongoing excellence.'
A Catalyst for Executive Action
Zensai's model allows executives to quickly identify areas requiring attention. Losing the Human Success Score Badge, for instance, triggers a company-wide call to action akin to a high-priority alert in other business functions such as when ARR suddenly drops quarter after quarter. This innovation fosters a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, driving sustainable performance.
'Zensai is at the forefront of innovation, having created the AI-powered Human Success Platform that brings together advanced technology to make employees and managers excel every single day,' said Robin Daniels, Chief Business Officer at Zensai. 'By harnessing deep AI insights, our Human Success Score drives measurable engagement, performance, and development for organizations.'
Proven Correlation with Business Outcomes
With organizations already investing in costly workplace certifications, Zensai goes a step further, quantifying the key drivers of high-performing teams—skills, accountability, and commitment. Drawing from Katzenberg's high-performance team model, the Human Success Score enables HR and executive leadership to make informed decisions, aligning the boardroom around an actionable number for future success.
Zensai's participation at HumanX 2025 underscores the conference's emphasis on transformative solutions that guide companies toward a human-centric culture in the age of AI.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Just Delivered Great News for Quantum Computing Investors
Key Points Satya Nadella called quantum the next big accelerator in the cloud. Microsoft just introduced a new Level 2 quantum computer it's building with Atom Computing. Several quantum computing companies use Azure Quantum for cloud infrastructure. 10 stocks we like better than Microsoft › Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) delivered an impressive earnings report for its fiscal fourth quarter 2025 (ending June 30, 2025), with strong results across the board. Overall revenue jumped 18% to $76.4 billion, paced by exceptionally strong growth in Azure, its cloud infrastructure unit, which reported 39% growth, driving revenue from its Intelligent Cloud unit up 26% to $29.9 billion. Bottom-line results were also strong with net income up 24% to $27.2 million, or $2.65 per share. However, one comment stood out in the company's earnings report, especially for investors in quantum computing stocks like Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT), IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI). Quantum computing stocks have attracted attention, soaring since Alphabet unveiled a new milestone with its Willow quantum computing chip, and now Microsoft appears to be jumping on the bandwagon. CEO Satya Nadella made a bold statement on the earnings call, saying, "The next big accelerator in the cloud will be quantum, and I'm excited about progress. In fact, earlier this month, we announced the world's first operational deployment of a level two quantum computer with Atom Computing." What Microsoft is doing with quantum computing Following in the footsteps of Alphabet, Microsoft announced its new Majorana 1 quantum chip in February, saying it's powered by a new Topological Core architecture, which will help create computers that can solve large-scale problems in years, not decades. Microsoft's focus on topological qubits separates it from its competitors, though the company says that it's theoretically more stable than any other qubit engineered to date. Its quantum computing strategy will be driven by Azure, which will allow it to scale up its capabilities. Eventually, Microsoft says, its quantum computer will be able to handle bandwidths over 10-100 terabits per second and complete operations in less than a microsecond. Microsoft's partnership with Atom Computing on quantum computers appears to be progressing rapidly, as in July, the company received an 80 million euro investment from a new Nordic quantum initiative, QuNorth, to build one of the very first Level 2 quantum computers. What it means for quantum computing stocks Quantum computing stocks didn't get the same boost from the announcement of Majorana that they did from Willow, but that may be because Alphabet's announcement took the industry by surprise, essentially kicking off a race for what may be the next disruptive technology after AI. Microsoft is working with many of the top quantum computing stocks, so its success in quantum could be their success. Some of these quantum computing companies also use Azure Quantum to power their operations and give customers access to their programs. For example, IonQ can reconfigure trapped-ion quantum computers for up to 11 fully connected qubits, and Rigetti's systems also operate on Azure Quantum and are known for fast gate times, low-latency conditional logic, and fast program execution. However, the whole sector should benefit from improving visibility for quantum computing as tech leaders like Nadella tout its proximity and potential. Nadella recognized the potential in AI early on and partnered with OpenAI to establish itself as a leader in generative AI. He also recognized the opportunity in cloud computing and has built Azure into a force that can soon topple Amazon Web Services as the biggest cloud infrastructure platform. Now, Microsoft is aiming to do the same thing with quantum computing. While quantum seems unlikely to have its "ChatGPT moment" the way AI did, we could see it generating meaningful revenue in the next few years for some of the companies above. If Microsoft gets more bullish on the technology, that should be a clear signal for the industry as a whole. While not every quantum stock will be a winner, any progress for the technology at this point is a win for the sector. Do the experts think Microsoft is a buy right now?

I pivoted my tech career to focus on AI. Now I make $6,400 a week — but I care more about staying relevant than the money.
This as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with 28-year-old Mostofa Adib Shakib, a software engineer from Iowa, about pivoting his career to focus on building AI skills. The following has been edited for length and clarity. My goal has always been to be like Elon Musk and bet on myself. I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and I moved to the US in 2017 for my undergrad. After graduating, I worked as a software engineer, first at Snap Inc. and then at ZipRecruiter. When ChatGPT came out, I realized the world was shifting, and I wanted to upskill in AI. So, in 2024, I left traditional software engineering to focus on building AI skills. Now, I work as a contractor for an AI-driven company and have more free time to build this skillset. To stay relevant, people should be lifelong learners and not scared of what's happening in the world. We should embrace change and try to upskill. Starting my career at Snap Inc. was a phenomenal experience During my four years of study at Texas Tech, I completed two bachelor's degrees, in computer science and mathematics, with a minor in electrical engineering. I graduated in 2021. Then, I landed my first full-time software engineering job at Snap Inc., starting in June 2021. My base salary was $125,000, and I also got paid in bonuses and stock. I worked on Snapchat's messaging team, which was a core part of the business. Everyone I knew there was really smart and kind. There were great perks at that time, such as a meal card to buy food every week. In December 2022, I started a new job at ZipRecruiter, earning $145,000 in base salary plus a bonus and stock options. I wanted experience at a smaller team where I had more zero-to-one opportunities — a chance to build things completely from scratch. I left traditional software engineering and started earning much more money in AI When ChatGPT first came out in November 2022, I knew the world was going to shift toward AI. My goals have always been to maximize learning and build skills I can leverage later on. I felt getting more AI skills would be a good strategy for my future, because agentic AI skills are more niche and emerging compared to mobile application work. My visa situation was the biggest obstacle to pivoting my career focus. I worked at Snapchat and ZipRecruiter on a type of student work authorization called Optional Practical Training, but it expired in July 2024, so I had to stop working at ZipRecruiter. With help from lawyers, I applied for a flexible type of visa, an agent-based O-1 for "extraordinary" talent. Rather than being tied to an employer, like I would be on the alternative H-1B employment visa, lawyers arranged for a company to act as my "agent," sponsoring my application in such a way that I could work for multiple companies or become an entrepreneur. I received the O-1 in September. Without the same visa concerns I had before, I decided now was the right time to focus on building AI skills, instead of working for another tech company. I had a strong foundation in AI knowledge. I'd done a lot of AI research in the past, and my mathematics classes at college were AI-related. But I lacked deep knowledge of how LLMs are built and their limitations. I learned more using books, videos, and research papers. I decided to build software projects to help me develop agentic AI skills, such as a tool that uses AI to help Bangladeshi professionals optimize their résumés. I'm not necessarily relying on these projects for income. My income these days mostly comes from consulting and a contractor role I started in February with Mercor, an AI-driven recruitment startup. I'm contracted with them full-time as a software engineer working on their AI products. I'd been earning $6,200 a week since February, but was recently given a raise to $6,400 a week. It's more than I was earning weekly at ZipRecruiter. It feels good to be making more, but money was never really my goal. I'm more excited about the company and working with extremely talented people. I don't see myself working for a company right now Being a full-time employee at a company is stable and offers nice benefits, but in my contractor role, I can spread out my hours as I please. If I were still employed at a company in a non-AI role, I could build up agentic AI skills on weekends, but I'd only be putting in 10 to 20 hours a week of learning. In theory, I could have tried to join an AI company next, but I'd still have the same skillset, focused on mobile development. I wanted to upskill and get where I wanted to be, to increase my leverage in the future. I genuinely think AI is the future. It's similar to big shifts like the introduction of the PC and the internet, but we're in the early phase of that shift, so a lot of opportunities are up for grabs. I think I'm making the right bet to focus on these opportunities before the market gets really crowded.

Supreme Court upholds Mississippi social media age requirement law
A banner advertising Snap hangs from the facade of the New York Stock Exchange as Snap's initial public offering debuts in New York City in 2017. The Supreme Court Thursday refused to overturn a Mississippi law requiring age verification for social media users. File Photo by Monika Graff/UPI | License Photo Aug. 14 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to block a law requiring social media users to verify their ages before using popular sites such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. The high court's ruling stems from a Mississippi lower court ruling that would require people to be a certain age to use popular social media sites. Some social media site operators have argued that the Mississippi law, and efforts by other states to require age verification, violates the First Amendment clause that guarantees free speech. Weeks ago, the Supreme Court upheld a Texas law requiring age verification for users visiting sites that contain sexually explicit content. In that ruling, Justice Clarence Thomas said the Texas law did not violate the First Amendment because, he expressed, it is important to protect "children from sexually explicit material." Through a spokesperson, State Attorney General Lynn Fitch said the state is "grateful for the Court's decision to leave Mississippi's law in effect while the case proceeds in a way that permits thoughtful consideration of these important issues." NetChoice, a company representing Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, X and YouTube, among others, called on the Supreme Court to intervene after the Mississippi state court said the law requiring age verification could stand while its constitutionality was being considered. The Mississippi law requires users under 18 to verify their age, and mandates minors receive parental consent prior to accessing social media sites. The law's authors said it is designed to buffer the growing influence of social media on younger users.
