What are Microsoft cooking up at their AI & IoT labs?

However, that's exactly what engineers like Microsoft's Sean Kelly think about. Sure, he enjoys being able to use ever more connected devices, but what he enjoys more is making them, and helping others to bring their ideas to fruition. "I'm in a room with every conceivable machine I could ever want to use, surrounded by a team of experts in everything I don't know well," he says. In security-laden locations around the world, Microsoft's IoT & AI Insider labs are on the bleeding edge of device creation and its engineers are researching and developing the next generation of intelligent and connected devices and software. Unlike traditional programming, machine learning is a model of programming that acts more like the human neural network.
