Below please find an index of news and awards that recognize Microsoft researchers’ contribution to scientific research and commitment to advancing computer science.
Grounding AI models is like giving them a map to navigate the world, but what happens when that map isn’t up to date or misses crucial details? That’s the problem hyperscalers and AI leaders are…
Artificial intelligence could put us on the path to a booming economic future, but getting there will take some serious course corrections. When Chad Syverson loads the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website these days…
AI agents could soon become indistinguishable from humans online. Could “personhood credentials” protect people against digital imposters? As artificial intelligence agents become more advanced, it could become increasingly difficult to distinguish between AI-powered users and…
As many as 1 million kilometers of fence (opens in new tab) may crisscross the western United States, enough to stretch to the Moon and back. Erected over the past century, largely to contain livestock, the barbed…
An intelligent digital agent could be a companion for life—and other predictions for the next 125 years. Happy birthday, baby. You have been born into an era of intelligent machines. They have watched over you…
A deepfake, as Microsoft defines it, is an AI generated image, video, or audio recording, typically used to spread false information. With advancements in AI technology, they’re getting harder and harder to detect, and that creates some concerning possibilities, especially as…
South African artificial intelligence (AI) research and product lab Lelapa AI (opens in new tab)has introduced its large language model (LLM) that aims to pioneer five African languages, as a start.
AI-generated deepfakes are realistic, easy for nearly anyone to make, and increasingly being used for fraud, abuse, and manipulation – especially to target kids and seniors. While the tech sector and non-profit groups have taken…
Bhaskar Mitra recently received the ACM SIGIR Early Career Researcher Awards for the following two categories: Excellence in Research: “For high-impact work, including research in neural IR and the establishing the MS-MARCO ranking benchmark” and…
Redmond opens up to discuss its new tool, which can extract data from unstructured text using large language models. Microsoft’s GraphRAG is a new approach to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that Redmond has described a “significant…
