Microsoft CEO: A.I. Design Will Require Values - Dice Insights

Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella published an article on Slate that outlined his positions on artificial intelligence (A.I.) and machine learning. If you're interested in those fields, it's well worth a read, because Nadella's position as head of one of the world's biggest technology companies means his opinion could have considerable influence on how the A.I. field evolves in coming years and decades. Nadella is, to put it mildly, an A.I. optimist. He thinks self-learning machines will allow humanity to conquer "disease, ignorance, and poverty." "I would argue that perhaps the most productive debate we can have isn't one of good versus evil," he wrote.
