Artificial intelligence. When you think about how many vehicles, research and development. You talk about high skilled immigration and different individuals that, in our research. A lot of them are these upholders who are making many contributions to the u. S. And the world when it comes to innovation and technology. We are going to be talking about we have not talked about it much yet. Ai is in the early stages. One of our main goals is to innovate. When we talk about Machine Learning and aii think it is it going that we get and we are doing the educating. At the federal level and at the state level so that they have a understanding to see how ai can make a difference. Recently met neutrality has been in the news, what is microsoft stance . To see what happens with the chairman of the fcc. We are for net neutrality. Like that as a title to function is going away. Yes, we have concerns as do many other in the industry. I think you will see a lot of associations that companies are part of to focus on that area. We plan to educate as well. Where is microsoft that on privacy . It is about striking the right balance. We are making sure that the consumer status is protected and we have the right rules for customer protection. What is your background . Work at the federal level, i used to work on capitol hill. I work for a congressman when he was a minority leader. Governorfor another and the legislative staff. I work for another company at one time. Opportunities working in campaigns. Campaigns on capitol hill and now i have the pleasure to work for a company that makes many contributions. For the last couple of years be ft seems to from my perspective there are these exciting times, we have a outstanding ceo. When it comes to the cloud with of ourgence when missions is to empower everybody on this planet to achieve more. I think you will find as you go to the distant different displays. Is the what you will see result of drones that will help make a difference for farmers which isuse tv space something the fcc is looking at to help farmers become more efficient. As well as be able to do things cheaper. We are going to be able to augment reality. You are going to see a lot of things. They will have a societal impact. It will relate to the clouds and the ai and the internet of things. There is a bige adjustment and microsoft for ai. How big is the component . It is so that we have been focusing on for a while. In ai and aader technical fellow who has talked about this. It is the future. What you will see here today. Future technologies. They are on the horizon. Issue, several security, will you like to see congress do . On the Cyber Security side we need to look at the rules of the road, what is the framework for how we look at Cyber Security. Where we wills get that bipartisan support. Is Trump Administration looking to focus on that as well. We would love to participate as well. I think that is something that is very very important as we have these different attacks and we have these issues when it comes to malicious software. Get a little pop up that says you need to do a update. Good cyber hygiene is very critical for all of us. As was our Companies Making sure they are doing their part to protect their software on their technology. The president microsoft sent outposts saying the government should not be looking at vulnerabilities. Mean . Id he at the back andfor itself. Everybody needs to be responsible. Unfortunately are available on the internet there are some bad actors out there. You need to think about what you are keeping. That needs to be protected. Law of on that stockpiling i think its before its upgrade itself. You are in one of the big five companies. The other Big Tech Companies in washington . Many companies. Microsoft has a lot of partners. We work with the other Big Tech Companies. Them with things ,ike ai, Cyber Security autonomous vehicles, drones or even policy issues. We are constantly working with them. The intellectual property of trade. Those types of issues. What you find is that there is a lot of policy agreement. Then on the business side we all do what we need to do to became remain competitive. Harmony in at of lot of the companies when it comes to this. How big is microsoft . At think there is now 118,000 employees. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. The communicators is that the Washington Office of microsoft for their annual tech fair. What are we looking at . Presenting ae project called part b. Is to solve the worlds food production. How do you do that . Given that the borders are shrinking, how do you do that . To do that we are looking at heartbeat. People have been looking at this problem. Example data shows these techniques i do not know if you know about agriculture is instead of treating your form as homogenous you treated as heterogenous. You apply fertilizer only when it is needed. You can find seats closer together. What does Artificial Intelligence and id have to do with agriculture . . Ow do you do use those to to doneed to be able this. Nutrients,have the there are others kind of maps. Itelop this is where expensive. The cheapest sensor was 8,000. Project is of this to use datadriven agriculture. We want to get it down. Are talking about innovations of how to do. The first is productivity. The reason these sensors are so they are is because using a satellite to send all the data. Except will be used as another technology called the whitespace. Suppose you have a phone outlets if you can access it a few miles away. We been wifi signals and tv channels. Tv you can find something going on. We can send these wifi signals without interfering with your tv signal. The reason this is cool is this frequency has the same power of wifi. Your signals could go 12 times faster. This is a whitespace. The interesting thing about that there are a lot more empty tv channels. Channelsve about 40 you are looking at a bigger capacity. Should connect your part. What are some of the things that farmer can do . The other things we are looking at is merging this sensor data. Usually we give you this kind of map. With this approach you can have a few sensors and match it with the drawn imaging. Here day that is running is in the house. We do not need to shift the data. We could be collecting sensor data that all comes with a deep learning algorithm. You can see it is learning on that pc there. That is all local computation. With the entire system it is looking at the sensors. Learning you are doing this deep learning. Things we aref doing we are in the plant. Light is an important if somebody is wearing a time . In the context of cows you can monitor this for a insurer and how they are doing and moving along. You can do all of that stuff. You can look if you are missing cows. This is just for a demo purpose. Going back to the deployment as we look at the kind of arios there is the climate and bangalore. For example this is a four kilometer stretch. This is where the cows are. This is from drones where we collect this data. Do not need a sensor here. We are using Machine Learning approaches to come up with these heat maps. You are able to see that the land is still acidic. This the farmers can use it for storage space. There are many more scenarios that we run. Of these being used in the real world . We are working with farmers about deploying this. We have one in new york, and one in bangalore, india. Ingest data and be able to provide useful services. Sidhu, monitoring another once a position map. What is your background . The you have a farming background . Have a phd in computer science. I did grow up on a farm growing up. Growing up in india, we would spend four months out of the year on a farm. Eventually if we can look at how we benefit the farmers we can give that back to them and make it more profitable. What is Cognitive Services . Cognitive services is our collection of the brain and the cloud using specific tasks. Section,do face that pet detection. If you look at this website there is a list of all the services we have even in preview. We are actually pushing these function out and to be will to empower them. You can have this emotion detection, speech detection, it is incredible. Think every time you see text we can translate that to any language. It is pretty powerful. Is microsoft available to everybody . Yes. It is all encompassing technology for our cloud services. A number of our technology lives in the cloud. Apisan call up on these and we can give you a example. You can try this very easily. There is a very simple example of this. Say i want to search for things to do. I found a website that is publicly available. Queue, ier read a nsa go to that url and i put it in. That, you canted see here all the text. It is what it would look like if i published that to my website. So now i can as get a question and it will find the answer just like that. The whole process of grabbing a , this is where technology, they could trim down that question. What time is a event. Is that Artificial Intelligence . What i can do here in the corner is find other ways to ask a question. Example i could ask what it be possible . Machinewhere the learning comes in. What do you have an the way of Cognitive Services. Very useful technology whether you are looking at a stage presentation or other issues. He has really changed the wheress of this website they are yet to be released. We can learn from them. It is also recognizing the sentiment. Example we are showing scott guthrie. You can see where he is actually talking. I also want to create a transcription for people who may be hard of hearing. It it took 15d minutes to go to that process and it is all written down here through text. Languagehink of it as irrelevant. You had a gentleman up here. Is thes his point if he speaker . He is one of the group of speakers that we are talking about. Is this connected . Is just ae conversation about that. This is a bit of fun. Get ready to step in the middle. And here is what you would look like it if you are superman. Sad andone is kind of frowning. The Technology Behind that is pretty impressive. Itsuperman as and it doesnt is taking a picture of your 40s phase two superimposed. How it is not named. I can train it to do this. If i wanted to i could even add myself and that. I have gone to the settings and added my name. It can change based on the age it is said to portray. When people kids happy it goes up. In the real world you would a shopfront and you wanted to capture sentiments. You could do that. Is there a privacy issue with this . Absolutely. This is something you could fool with a piece of paper. This withnly use proper signage. Is what itting thing is doing is capturing a human face. That is very easy. Little bit ofthis information around trip on the cloud and gathering information online. That we arermation sending in front of, this is going out to the world . At the world, the cloud. This is a setup in my environment. Website and not storing it. We are just training the anonymous data. Log on here there is a percentage next your name . That is how accurately it is portrayed my age. Percentage is based to how close it is getting. It is a common standard with Machine Learning to try to identify and how accurately it can identify. You will see when i show Harrison Ford that it is at 66 what is the use of this . Speech was delivering a and i wanted to analyze the sentiments. Useful for that. If i have a new concept. Difficult to make your message across. You can download the video of the speaker and get his sentiments. Look at how people are voting. This on aso place audience and pick up their sentiments. I could have somebody analyzing knowentiment and use it to how to talk. There are political speech elements to this . I could be doing anything whether our many people in the audience. This is a look at the cognitive tools. Thank you for your time. The problem, thank you. Happen are we seeing here . We are 3d printing. Enabling the ecosystem much in the way we have with other computer peripherals. Companies that build 3d printers can plug into windows. They can usually affect to their applications. Through microsoft software. It is a couple of years old at this point. It is fairly mainstream. It is becoming more and more accessible is technology improves. There can be a entry into using it. Do you know what a printer like this would cost . Thise types of printers of class which are a desktop printer range in price from 3000 all the way down to 200. They have literally come down in price. What is your job . I am a program manager. 19 is tasked with building all of this technology. What are we looking at here on the shelf . Just a variety of Different Things we have done with printing. That is three parts. Are looking at these different concepts. There are ways in which you can get contact for 3d printing. There are a lot of different models online. Another way you can set up content is to scan something. You can take a device and scan somebody to create a model. Actually design it yourself. There are a variety of Software Tools other to design 3d materials. With your basic tools although he up to high and professional design tools. Get to a point where people are putting 3d printers in their home question mark edges we did with laser printers a few years ago. But set think it depends on your needs. A laser printer like a kindle shop tool. If you have a need for creating 3d projects then you will want one. What is your background . Byi am a Software Engineer trade. I have been a microsoft word a number of years. I think this is a fascinating technology. What are we seeing onscreen . Prodexis a microsoft that is easytouse. It is part of entrylevel design tools. It will also allow you to prepare any digital models for 3d printing. Questions of risk at a picture into that and make a model of it . Absolutely. That is how i created the example. Thank you so much. Bid pleasure to talk to you if you would like to see more of cspan communicators go to cspan. Org. Look under the series link on the homepage. Cspan where history unfold daily.

Of theay, a discussion life of a former slave who became the first africanamerican captain of an went on to serve five terms in congress. I was fascinated by him. I was particularly fascinated i had never heard of him. I had done my work through the National Geographic and smithsonian and a civil war blog, i had read a lot of stories about the civil war. I was amazed he was not a wellknown figure. And then George Malone is interviewed by Financial TimesGlobal Business columnist.
