Microsoft has set a new Guinness World Record for the most participants in an online multi-level artificial intelligence (AI) lesson in one single day. More than 126,000 individuals from around the world participated in this global learning event, demonstrating the expanding reach and accessibility of AI and community-driven education.
Users from all walks of life, from students and educators to professionals and hobbyists, came together online to learn about AI concepts, build projects, and explore the potential of this transformative technology.
The official Guinness record is for 126,151 participants within 24 hours. The goal was to break down barriers to AI education and show that anyone can get started — no matter where you are or how much experience you have.
The achievement was part of Microsoft’s AI Skills Fest, an online global event designed to make AI learning accessible and engaging for everyone. Over several weeks, the festival offers a variety of free courses, challenges, and activities aimed at helping people of all ages and experience levels understand how AI works and how they can use it in their daily lives or careers. Think of it as a big, interactive learning festival where anyone can join in — whether you’re just curious about AI, looking to develop new skills, or hoping to apply AI in your work.
The AI Skills Fest continues through the end of May 2025, offering additional opportunities for learners to further explore and expand their understanding of AI, using in daily tasks, building apps and more.
