Join top executives in San Francisco on July 11-12, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success. The Academy Award-winning film Everything Everywhere All at Once demonstrates that life is messy and unpredictable, implying -- perhaps -- that we should embrace chaos, find joy, learn to let go of our expectations and trust that everything will work out in the end. This approach echoes the way in which many are currently approaching AI. That said, experts are split on whether this technology will provide unlimited benefits and a golden era or lead to our destruction. Bill Gates, for one, focuses mostly on the hopeful message in his recent Age of AI letter.

Craig Mundie, former Microsoft Chief Research & Strategy Officer, was blunt in his assessment at the COSM conference on tech's future in medicine: "Human biology is too complicated for humans. If it is too complicated for humans, is it too complicated for machines?" He told his audience that Big Data will enable each person to be "completely understood" by Artificial General Intelligence machines that can produce a computer facsimile of each detail of a single individual. It would be far too complex for human physicians to make sense of, he said. In his talk, he cited recent victories of machines like AlphaGo at games and of DeepMind and Open AI at crunching big data in medicine.

Researchers at Microsoft have made software that can learn the sound of your voice, and then use it to speak a language that you don't. The system could be used to make language tutoring software more personal, or to make tools for travelers. In a demonstration at Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, campus on Tuesday, Microsoft research scientist Frank Soong showed how his software could read out text in Spanish using the voice of his boss, Rick Rashid, who leads Microsoft's research efforts. In a second demonstration, Soong used his software to grant Craig Mundie, Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer, the ability to speak Mandarin. Hear Rick Rashid's voice in his native language and then translated into several other languages: English: Listen to a clip of Rick Rashid talking normally.
