Group)<\/strong> is a research engineering team dedicated to advancing human\u2013AI co-creation through interactive intelligence. We investigate how humans and intelligent systems can think, explore, and create together through interaction. Rather than viewing intelligence as a static property of either humans or machines, we study it as a dynamic, human-in-the-loop process\u2014emerging through dialogue, feedback, and iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our work bridges design, data, and code. We build expressive, approachable, and controllable tools that empower people to shape AI systems while remaining meaningfully in control of the creative process. By combining rigorous research with system building, we aim to expand the boundaries of creativity and transform AI into a true partner in thinking and making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Group photo\" class=\"wp-image-983994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1051-2-\u62f7\u8d1d-240x180.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Team photo celebrating MSRA 25th anniversary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advancing human-Al co-creation through interactive intelligence.
