Sacha is very involved. Kevin Scott, our Chief Technology Officer, has done a lot of long-term thinking on the future of AI. Mikhail Perikin is the head of our engineering at Web Services Work. Brad Smith has continued to be a big counsel on the responsible AI and ethical approach. And obviously, Amy Hood has kept us clear and focused on how we invest,. How we look at the business impact. Bill Gates been involved, I've been talking to him. He's definitely looked at this project and given us feedback.
Is AI going to fall in love with you? Write your term papers? Or help you plan a trip to Belize? The answer to all three is: maybe. How well it does any of those things remains to be seen, but Kara tells Nayeema the fast-developing AI will be more significant than almost anything else she's covered in tech.
To understand the it, we’re joined by Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, who is in charge of rolling out the new, AI-powered Bing. On the agenda: how the tech works, why the launch demo was buggy, the ethical considerations of a new technology and what Bill Gates has to say about AI.
