AI for Good
We stand on the cusp of a new era of technology, what many are referring to as a Fourth Industrial Revolution. At the heart of this revolution will be technologies enabled and underpinned by cloud computing, better known as simply “the cloud” — vast networks of distributed hyperscale datacenters, providing for the collection, storage and analysis of data at unprecedented scale and speed. It is this ability to store and process huge amounts of information that is at the heart of the data-driven technologies like AI and data analytics that will come to define our Era. A fundamental aspect of all our AI for Good initiatives is to combine Microsoft’s technology and expertise in artificial intelligence and data science with the talent and expertise of groups around the world in fields such as environmental science, disability needs and humanitarian assistance
