Microsoft is working in a frantic pace to integrate AI into your product offerings. How do you deal with the revolutionary technology in a responsible way? Well, I'd be honest with you: I hate the word 'frantic' It's just good to remind ourselves that we've actually been at this for a while and it isn't like this just happened three weeks ago. We've had responsible AI principles going back multiple years. And now we have a very amazing team of AI experts across the company who work on some earlier incarnations of products.
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.
