#artificialintelligence

At the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland on Tuesday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explained that his company has designed its artificial intelligence (AI) solutions specifically to augment human workers, not replace them. Speaking as part of a panel discussion with other tech leaders, Nadella said that AI, much like user experience, can be designed with a goal in mind. While some are designing AI systems to think like humans in order to replace them, he said, Microsoft is designing systems to assist humanity. Nadella said that Microsoft was utilizing "pragmatic principles that can guide AI creation." He also mentioned that this isn't a new strategy for Microsoft, as he pointed out this idea in his 10 rules for AI that he posted in June 2016.
