ã€Global Technology Report】 According to the British "Daily Mail" on May 10 reported that Beijing time on the 10th at 10:50, Microsoft's 2017 Build Developer Conference kicked off in Seattle, United States. Microsoft revealed that the number of monthly active devices in Windows 10 has reached 500 million. The company is investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and hopes that developers will provide AI services such as customized gestures, commands, and voice recognition in products and services. At the conference, Microsoft released new tools and hopes that AI will be used in all devices. In addition, Microsoft also released new features to push computing power from the cloud to the edge, greatly reducing data latency and improving efficiency. Shen Xiangyang, head of Microsoft’s AI and research department, stated: “We use AI in all the products and services we provide. For more than 20 years, we have been accumulating strength for the breakthrough of AI technology. Microsoft’s research has penetrated into machine learning and speech recognition. In areas such as machine vision recognition, we are now in a unique position and we can use this decades of research results." AI is increasingly essential in people's homes. For example, personal assistants can answer questions and control the connection of devices such as electrical appliances or light bulbs. Digital assistants already have features such as reminding people of appointments that have joined the calendar and suggesting that you leave early in times of traffic congestion. At the conference, Microsoft focused on companies and software developers. These developers could be students who have built interesting applications, or they can be professional technical teams. Patrick Moorhead, chief analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, stated: "The main business model of Amazon, Facebook and Google is to use AI to mine personal information in order to sell you products. Microsoft is different from these companies and is trying to use AI for companies. Solve business problems and allow application developers to develop better applications. Microsoft is using a unique approach that allows developers to customize gesture commands, voice recognition and other features, rather than to make it meet the "off-the-shelf" AI settings."
