AI combined with human ingenuity is already helping people to do amazing things. Thanks to AI advances, we can communicate more easily across multiple languages and even discover more personalized cancer treatments. And that’s just the beginning. We are in the nascent stage of AI breakthroughs, and we can only imagine the possibilities of what people and technology will be able to do together. Despite all this potential, AI is probably one of the least understood technological breakthroughs in modern times. That makes sense. After all, anyone can tap on a smart phone screen, pick up a gaming controller or slip on a HoloLens and immediately understand why it is something people will use, love and come to rely on. By contrast, AI isn’t something you can see or touch, and you may not even realize you are using it. In fact, most of us are probably relying on technology that uses AI every day, without even knowing it. Microsoft also uses AI to help doctors and biochemists better understand, prevent and treat the world’s deadliest and most confounding diseases, by analyzing vast amounts of medical data to look for useful patterns. CEDA will be tweeting from this event using #AI Those breakthroughs wouldn’t be possible without the combination of data, the Join the conversation and follow us AI algorithms that can analyze data, the cloud computing to process it -- and on Twitter @ceda_news the human experts who can apply those results to make medical breakthroughs. We use AI to help people break down cultural barriers and understand each other better, by providing real-time translation and speech recognition through Microsoft Translator. And we call on AI to assist in making people’s busy days easier and more productive, by building technology such as Cortana that reminds us of upcoming appointments, recognizes the words that we say and finds facts in a pinch. Because it uses AI, Cortana learns your preferences and can personalize your experience based on past behavior to help get things done. As AI begins to augment human understanding and decision-making in fields like education, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, energy, and manufacturing, it will raise new societal questions. How can we ensure that AI treats everyone fairly? How can we best ensure that AI is safe and reliable? How can we attain the benefits of AI while protecting privacy? How do we not lose control of our machines as they become increasingly intelligent and powerful? Business leaders, policymakers, researchers, academics and representatives of civil society must work together to ensure AI based technologies are designed and deployed in a manner that will earn the trust of the people who use them and the individuals whose data is being collected. The Partnership on AI, an organisation co-founded by Microsoft, is one vehicle for advancing these discussions. www.partnershiponai.org . keynote speaker Brad Smith President, Microsoft Twitter: @bradsmi Brad Smith is Microsoft’s president and chief legal officer.
