Alan Lepofsky on Microsoft's New AI Tech at Ignite 2016

In 1977 when Star Wars introduced the world to C-3PO and R2D2, artificial intelligence (AI) seemed as fantastical as that galaxy far, far away. But at Ignite this year when Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, took to the keynote stage it was very clear that AI is right at our feet. Instead, their vision for AI enhances the many tools we use already use at work and in our everyday lives! At day two of the conference, I had the pleasure of talking with Alan Lepofsky, Principal Analyst of Collaboration Software at Constellation Research, who was even more excited than I was about the whole thing, Check out our interview to hear more about Microsoft's new direction and what a future powered by AI tools might be like for people and businesses everywhere.
