The meeting on Microsoft\u2019s sun-splashed Redmond campus involved more than 500 prominent AI academic and Microsoft researchers who brought depth and context to the theme with thought-provoking presentations and demos of leading-edge research. We heard from leading luminaries in collaborative AI, deep learning, machine comprehension, deep neural nets and more. We saw demos of AI applications and services that demonstrated how some aspects of AI are moving to the center of our digital lives. We also heard from some of our keynote speakers that while much progress has been made, much work remains if our AI systems are to become better at sensing, learning, reasoning and understanding natural language. And we were challenged to continue to seek out errors \u2013 not just solutions \u2013 on the path toward a more general artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>If you attended the Summit but missed some of the sessions, or if you didn\u2019t attend but would like to explore some of the mind-expanding content we covered in two days of keynotes and break-out sessions, please enjoy our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/event\/faculty-summit-2017\/#videos\">on-demand<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> Faculty Summit video coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent News:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/on-the-issues\/2017\/07\/12\/announcing-ai-earth-microsofts-new-program-put-ai-work-future-planet\/\">AI for Earth<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jnOjJMbEODA\">BBC News Night Sneak Peek into Microsoft\u2019s AI Labs<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"http:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/357\/6346\/7.full\">Eric Horvitz Science Magazine Article<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Roy Zimmermann,\u00a0Director, Microsoft Research The theme of this year\u2019s Faculty Summit 2017, which occurred earlier this week, was The Edge of AI.
