Top government leaders are heading to Microsoft's US headquarters for briefings.

Two top leaders of the government's push to go digital are heading next week to Microsoft's US headquarters for briefings.

The visit comes days after the government signalled it would intensify the use of AI to help reduce the headcount in the public service by over 10 percent.

The "future of work" would be one of the key global technology trends in the two-day executive briefing in Redmond near Seattle, the Internal Affairs Department said.

Microsoft issued the invite in February and it "does not relate to recent ministerial announcements", deputy secretary enterprise services Darrin Sykes said in a statement to RNZ.
