Advancing human knowledge and foundational technologies

Science and technology have never been more deeply interconnected. We aim to accelerate and democratize scientific discovery by empowering the global research community with leading-edge tools enabled by artificial intelligence, hyperscale computing and other advances in computing technology. In turn, we aim to draw upon new fundamental insights to inform and inspire new breakthroughs and computing paradigms.

Ensuring that technology is trustworthy and beneficial to everyone

Advances in technology can present tremendous opportunities along with equally significant risks. We aim to enable individuals and organizations to understand and govern their data and technology in alignment with human intent and in adherence with applicable regulations.

We create leading-edge tools for realizing technology ethics from principle to practice, engage at the intersection of technology and policy, and ultimately aim to ensure that the continued advancement of technology is safe, secure, and beneficial to society.

Amplifying human creativity and achievement

We believe that technology exists to amplify human potential and creativity across the breadth of our abilities and circumstances. 

We are focused on empowering people to pursue their goals, to discover meaning in their work and play, and to stay connected to what’s important to them. We aim to create technologies that can understand our intent and context and smoothly adapt, thereby transforming the way individuals engage with machines, data, and each other.

Empowering scientists and accelerating the discovery of new knowledge

We aim to accelerate and democratize scientific discovery by empowering the global research community with leading edge tools enabled by advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and hyperscale computing. In turn, we aim to draw upon new fundamental insights to inform and inspire new breakthroughs in computing technology.

If we can unlock and accelerate more scientific exploration and experimentation through advances in computing, we can help achieve breakthroughs across the sciences that will positively impact our world.

Supporting a healthy global society

We have witnessed incredible progress in advancing science and technology for improving human health, but the benefits of these advancements are unevenly distributed throughout society.

We aim to help ensure that every person on the planet can live to their physical and mental potential by advancing inclusive and equitable technologies supporting the health of individuals and populations. In pursuit of this aim, we collaborate across disciplines and institutions at the intersection of computing technology, health, and life sciences.

Fostering a resilient and sustainable society

The need to address global challenges such as sustainability and pandemic response has never been more pressing.

We aim to create more robust interconnected systems of people and technology capable of identifying societal and ecological patterns and enabling coordinated action. Effective new approaches in these areas will not only help us respond to and recover from systemic disruptions but could ultimately help us anticipate and prevent them.
