Opportunities for people in an age of AI
summary
Microsoft describes concrete programs like AI for Earth, AI for Accessibility and AI for Humanitarian Action and commits over $100 million across five years to fund projects that pair environmental and social scientists with data scientists. Examples of current AI include Spotify/Netflix recommendations, camera-based pedestrian alerts in cars and iPhone speech transcription; the company publishes hundreds of APIs and frames six priority ethical areas — bias, privacy/security, reliability/safety, accessibility, transparency and accountability — and calls for law on facial recognition.
